| Re: Configure USB Port for Printing
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??? |

| Re: Configure USB Port for Printing
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 |

| Re: Configure USB Port for Printing
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? |
