Troubleshooting the Printer
I cannot print.
 Make sure the power to the printer is on, and the printer cable is securely connected to both the printer and your
computer.

port number.

2. Click Performance and Maintenance, then System. The System Properties dialog box appears.
3. Select the Hardware tab, and click Device Manager. The Device Manager window appears.
4. Double-click Ports (COM&LPT), and then ECP Printer Port (LPT1).
5. Select the Port Settings tab, and choose a different LPT Port Number.
Your connected printer may not function after the computer resumes from a power saving mode.
