mikewooten,The "PCI Simple Communication Device" should be a 3COM (USRobotics) modem. You should be able to install a standard 3COM 56k modem driver from the Windows 2000 CD. If you did the install of Windows 2000 with your printer connected, you may need to remove the printer, remove the bang in Device manager and then restart the computer so that Windows 2000 will be able to recognize your printer port correctly. Then you will need to get the latest printer driver for Windows 2000 from your printer manufacturer. If they do not have a driver for Windows 2000, you may be able to install a driver from Microsoft for your printer from the Windows 2000 CD.Stevemikewooten
