| 89155 | 2002-10-14 11:52:00 | Hi there...I recently installed Bitware, then uninstalled it as was my only default printer). When I try to print I get 'a timeout error occured. Failed to communicate with lpt1 port.' I have uninstalled and reinstalled my software ( 4 times), tried to find CMOS settings (can't - none for lpt1 using INT 7), tried echo test in BIOS - failed. I have an Epson Stylus C20UX. Cable ok (as i swap with scanner). Been thru trouble shooting for printers. I can't open HDD to check ribbon as it's under warranty. Any suggestions....thanks guys | sylkness (2247) | ||
| 89156 | 2002-10-14 12:06:00 | Hi, Bitware is a voice / fax program on the PC.. Check in Start > Settings > Printers Can you see a printer labelled Bitware (or similiar). If so Delete it. I am pretty sure that part of the fax service side of Bitware is to install a Bitware This printer emulates LPT1, so that any application from be printed from and sent to the fax side of Bitware and faxed away. So if you can you see a printer labelled Bitware (or similiar) delete it, and all should be fixed. Jess |
