Hi All

I have a 486 dx2 50 with a 250meg hard disk and a NEC GDI laser 
printer and all has been working very well. Anyway I decided to have 
another 1 Gig hard drive and a CD drive added by a local shop. 
To have these fitted I also had to purchase a EIDE Controller, all 
goes well. The only trouble is now although the hard disks and CD all 
work well my printer isn't. The paper feed and all software functions 
work but the print doesn't. All I get on the paper is fairly pretty 
random patterns.
I have checked the cable conections and reinstalled the NEC software 
all to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone give 
me any advice. Is there any software to check the connection.
I will take it back to the shop that did the work but I can't do that 
until next week, if its a quick fix I'd rather do it myself.
