Lexmark WinWriter 200:
You must modify the “win.ini” and “system.ini” files in the Windows ®
directory to turn off the printer's bi-directional function.
We recommend that you backup the WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files
before you modify them.
Open the “win.ini” file using the “Notepad” application. Look for the
following statement in the [windows] section:
[windows]
run=C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM/WPSIOMON
Then disable this function, by adding a semicolon at the beginning of the
above sentence as follows:
[windows]
;run=C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM/WPSIOMON
Look for the following statement in the [spooler] section:
[spooler]
QP.LPT1=wpslbq.dll
Then disable this function, by adding a semicolon at the beginning of the
above sentence as follows:
[spooler]
;QP.LPT1=wpslbq.dll
Then, open the “system.ini” file using the “Notepad” application. Look
for the following statement in the [386Enh] section:
[386Enh]
device=wpscomd.386
device=wpsljvpd.386
:
:
WPSLPT1=1
Then disable this function, by adding a semicolon at the beginning of
above sentences as follows:
[386Enh]
;device=wpscomd.386
;device=wpsljvpd.386
:
:
;WPSLPT1=1
You must restart Windows ® to make these modifications effective.
These modifications disable the printer status reporting on your PC;
however, you will be able to use the machine without further problems.
