Windows Printing Problems

Problem No. 1	When I tried to install the Printing software for Peer-to-Peer
	printing, I received an error message and the installation was
	aborted..
Solution No. 1	This may be caused by an existing installation of the printer port
	software. Before attempting another installation:
	■	Remove the existing installation
	■	Restart your computerTo remove an existing printer port
		installation:
	1.	Open Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove
		Programs
	2.	Look for an entry with a name like "Shared Port", "Shared
		Printer Port", " Print Server Driver" or " Print Server Port".
	3.	Select this item, click "Add/Remove", and confirm the
		deletion.
Problem No. 2	On Windows 95, I installed the Print Port Driver for Peer-to-
	Peer Printing, but when I selected a port on a Print Server and
	clicked "Add", the printer was not installed.
Solution No. 2	Try installing the Printer using the standard Windows tools, as
	follows:
	1.	Start the Add Printer Wizard.
	2.	Select Network Printer when prompted "How is the printer
		attached to your Computer?", and click Next.
	3.	When prompted for the Network Path or Queue, enter a
		dummy value such as shown below. (Do NOT select Yes for
		"Do you print for MS-DOS programs?")
	4.	The printer wizard will display a message stating that "The
		Network Printer is off-line". This is OK. Continue the Add
		Printer Wizard until finished.
	5.	Go to the Printers folder (Control Panel-Printers). The
		printer icon will be grayed out indicating the printer is not
		ready.
	6.	Right-click the Printer, and select Properties. Then select the
		Details tab, as shown below.
	7.	Click the Add Port button. On the resulting screen, select
		Other, then Printer Server, as the port to add, as shown
		below.
