Error message

Solution

Printer not responding/error
writing to LPT1

Check the following:

●

The Ready light is on.

●

The power cord and parallel or USB cable are correctly
connected.

Try the following:

●

Disconnect the power cord and parallel or USB cable at
both ends and reconnect them.

●

Use another IEEE-1284 compliant parallel or USB-1F
compliant cable.

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.
