another printer connected to your computer is

port.
Try the following:
● Disable all status windows for other printers.
● Verify the port setting is correct for the
printer. Access the printer properties; see
“
Printer properties (driver) .” The port
settings can be accessed under the
properties Details tab in the Printer
Properties screen.
