I don't have a clue as to whether this a hardware or Win98Se
problem or ???
Computer/OS: Thinkpad600E, 128mb ram, Win98SE
All of a sudden, when I try to print to my HP LaserJet 1100, I get the
following error message: "There was an error writing to LPT 1: (for
the
Printer HP Laser Jet 1100): There was a problem printing to the
port. Check
to make sure your printer is configured to use a valid port."
As to the obvious question, yes, it is configured for LPT 1. The error
occurs whether or not the printer/printer cable (or ANY printer/cable)
are
attached when attempted to print to that printer. I have re-installed
the
HP driver software, re-initialized the bios, and run the bios
diagnostic
check on the port (which says the port is ok).
Any ideas? Thanks much!
