Ok, I got something to print. I fiddled around in the bios.  There was a
setting in the bios called "Boot to PnP Operating System" and it was
disabled. I enabled it and that allowed me to install the printer module by
selecting option 3. from the wp menu. Then option 4. was listed so I hit
that to print a test page.  The printer (HP 895cxi) made a few sounds then
nothing and the yellow light on the printer was flashing. I pressed the
yellow light and then document printed but only the first line.
Should I try a different module??

Thanks,
Kooner.
