Problems
Problem No. 1 When I tried to install the Printing software for Peer-to-Peer printing, I
received an error message and the installation was aborted..
Solution No. 1 This may be caused by an existing installation of the printer port
software. Before attempting another installation:
■
Remove the existing installation
■
Restart your PC
To remove an existing printer port installation:
1 Open Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs
2 Look for an entry with a name like Shared Port , Shared Printer Port , Print
Server Driver or Print Server Port .
3 Select this item, click Add/Remove , and confirm the deletion.
Problem No. 2 On Windows 98, I installed the Print Port Driver for Peer-to-Peer Printing,
but when I selected a port on a Print Server and clicked
Add , the printer
was not installed.
Solution No. 2 Try installing the Printer using the standard Windows tools, as follows:
1 Start the Add Printer Wizard.
2 Select Network Printer when prompted How is the printer attached to
your Computer? , and click Next .
3 When prompted for the Network Path or Queue, enter a dummy value
such as shown below. Do NOT select
Yes for Do you print for MS-DOS
programs?
