    Where is Parallel Port?

    I have HP EliteBook 6930P, ECP Printer Port driver is installed in Device Manager. But there is not any printer port physically. Why this driver is installed, if there is not physical port.

    Look under control panel then under ports. You can add pcmcia cards with an actual parallel port to some laptops.

    The parallel port is in the docking station:

    If the computer has a ducking station port, the laptop will have to be placed on the docking station to physically access the parallel port. This is the most likely case with that computer.
