I can only reply to such a generic request with a couple of generic suggestions - try reinstalling the printer driver, try a new printer cable.

More assistance will require more details from you, please!

For instance, are you printing an E-mail, a web page or from a WP application like Word or WordPerfect. Is it a whole sentance or the margins that arnt printing. Is there a space where the print shoud be?

Try a new driver -

Make sure your LPT port is set to bidirectional in the bios, and try a new printer cable.

If you disconnect the Printer from the PC and run a Test Page, does the Test Page show the same symptoms?

If not, that would imply the Printer is OK and you need to look at the drivers, Port setting, or cable...as glc has suggested.
