If your printer is connected via a USB port, you could try control panel,
printers and faxes. If your printer is listed there, right click on it,
click properties, ports tab, change it to a USB port.
 
Hello,
I have a Lexmark 4270 "All-N-One" fax/printer/scanner.
My "All-N-One" device suddenly stopped working. When I tried re-installing
the sw, then try to print a test page, the sys tells me my port is not
configured properly. I look into the properties/port of the printer, and
found the printer assigned to lpt1.

How do I configure lpt1 to accept commands for the USB port/printer.
I have looked on the web, but unable to find a "good" solution.
Can/will someone point in the right direction???



Thank you,


Charles L. Phillips

Most printers that offer USB printing will configure their own
enhanced printer port (DOT?????) If the printer driver does not find
its printer port, a quick way is to uninstall and re-install the
drivers.

Hello,
I have the same problem with a Toshiba DP80F. When I want to print the
test page I get the error message "invalid port no in line 47
DP80F.DEV". This line says "port=LPT1". But even if I change it to
"port=USB001 (that is what my system offers when I install the printer"
it does not work. Does anybody know what I should type here instead?
(Windows XP, Notebook Samsung P55)
Thanks a lot,
Chris

Are you sure its a USB connection. I looked at the manual and it shows
a Parallel port on the side of the printer/fax unit?
