Hi Team Since Old Faithful (my decrepit W98 Print Server) died, with the printing demands of two UNI students plus my business to satisfy I have had to make other arrangements for the print-load here on our home network. I hooked my HP1200 printer up to LPT1 on my main computer via the in/out pass-through ports on my how to add dot4 printer port HP scanner, booted the computer and the printer was duly recognised. I loaded the CD and installed the drivers, printed a test page and thought all was well, but no such luck. More often than not I now get an error message "can't print to Port DOT4-001" and on checking in Device Manager I find that it is not installed on LPT-1 but is on what seems to be a virtual port called DOT4-001. It prints test pages OK (most of the time, sometimes it fails) but when I try to print a document I get an error message "cannot find DOT4-001" etc. This is unfamiliar territory to me, I've been installing and uninstalling printers for years and never saw anything like this. At one stage Old Faithful had three LPT ports running with a variety of printers plus the scanner and never complained once! How can I force this printer back onto LPT-1?

Posted on 2002-11-22 Printers and Scanners 2 Verified Solutions 7 Comments 27,323 Views Last Modified: 2013-12-15 When I boot my PC with the printer offline, I am not able to print to my HP Laserjet 1200 (when the printer is powered on after booting). The error message is "Cannot print to port DOT4_001". However, if the printer was online when booting the PC, the printer works fine. Any solutions? 0 Question by:msvasan112698 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google Best Solution bymacjp123 I agree that it is the OS. You might want to upgrade to Win XP Pro. I am sure that would fix the problem. Win2k is not as nearly as plug n play as XP... Go to Solution 6 Comments Message Expert Comment by:macjp1232002-11-23 what connection are you using (USB, Parellal)? 0 Message Author Comment by:msvasan1126982002-11-23 I am using parallel port which is set to ECP mode in BIOS. I have also enabled the Plug n Play mode in Windows 2000. I am using Win2K Professional stand alone workstation. I guess the problem is more with OS than HP. When I boot the PC with the Printer "ON", I am able to see "Dot4" and "Dot4 Printer" in "Device Manager". The same is absent when the PC is booted with the printer "off". 0 Message Accepted Solution by:macjp1232002-11-24 I agree that it is the OS. You might want to upgrade to Win XP Pro.
