I cannot print.

❑The default setting for the printer port mode is correct for most printers. If you cannot print, try changing the printer port mode. In Sony Notebook Setup, select the Printer tab. If the printer port mode is set to ECP, change it to bi-directional. If the printer port mode is set to bi-directional, change it to

ECP. See “Displaying the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” in the online VAIO® Notebook User Guide for details on using Sony Notebook Setup.
