another application)
There is a device conflict. This might occur if another device is
installed on your computer and running status software. The
status software dominates the parallel port on the computer
and will not allow the HP LaserJet 1200 to access the port.
Try the following:
●
Disable all of the status windows for other printers.
●
Make sure that the printer’s port setting is correct. Access
the printer properties; see
. The
port settings are on the Details tab.
