Windows Printing Problems
Solution No. 1
This may be caused by an existing installation of
the printer port software. Before attempting another

To remove an existing printer port installation:

Open [Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/
Remove Programs].

Look for an entry with a name like [Shared Port],
[Shared Printer Port], [Print Server Driver] or
[Print Server Port].

Select this item, click [Add/Remove], and confirm
the deletion.
Solution No. 2
Try installing the Printer using the standard Windows
tools, as follows:

Start the Add Printer Wizard.

Select [Network Printer] when prompted [How is the
printer attached to your Computer?], and click [Next].
