Hello,
Have similar situation that I've reported on this reflector. The LPT
SO2R issue seems to be a common problem with WL especially with new
computers that don't have a LPT on the mother board. I've had to go
to something less than optimal to use WL with SO2R. Not holding my
breath until this is fixed in WL.
