ROUBLESHOOTING

The Printer should no longer be grayed out, and is ready for use.

The screens shown above are from Windows 98. Other versions of 
Windows may look slightly different, but the process is identical.

Problem No. 3

I have a Windows-only printer, and when I tried to install the Peer-to-Peer 
Print driver on Windows 98/ME, installation failed.

Solution No. 3

Some Windows-only printers cannot be networked. If a Windows-only 
printer cannot be installed using the Windows 

Add New Printer

 wizard, 

but only by using a program provided by the printer manufacturer, then it 
probably can not be networked.

Try the procedure described above (Solution 2). If you can not select a 
Printer Driver for your printer within the 

Add Printer

 wizard, then the 

printer can not be networked.

Problem No. 4

Using Windows 2000/XP, I installed the printer using LPD as 
recommended, but I can not print.

Solution No. 4

■

Check that the correct Printer driver is being used.

■

Try disabling the Bidirectional printing support, as follows:

■

Open the 

Printers

 folder.

■

Right-click on the Printer, and select 

Properties

.

■

Select the 

Ports

 tab.

■

Uncheck the 

Enable bidirectional support

 checkbox.
