		connected.

Cannot access port (in use by another application)

There is a device conflict. This might occur if another device is installed on your computer and running status software. The status software dominates the parallel port on the computer and will not allow the HP LaserJet 1200 to access the port.

Try the following:

●Disable all of the status windows for other printers.

●Make sure that the printer’s port setting is correct. Access the printer properties; see Printer properties (driver). The port settings are on the Details tab.
