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.
Check the cable to see if you do not have missing of bend pins.
Try a printer self test (if available) to see if the printer itself is still functionning properly. For more

About digital video captures and DVgate
While I am recording images to a digital video device using DVgate, my system displays the message
'Recording to DV device failed. Check the power and cable connections to the DV device and try the
operation again...'
Close all open applications and restart your com p ute r. Frequent reco rdi ng of images to a digital video
device while using DVgate sometimes causes this error.
Your DV device will need to have DV In/Out in order to be able to transfer your files to the DV device.
