5308.0. "Unable to print since upgrading to 2.04" by CSC32::H_ROBINSON () Mon Dec 30 1991 04:13

    
	I am having a slight problem since installing V2.04.  I am not 
able to print.  When using printfiles, nothing happens.  I can successfully 
copy to par: but not prt:.  When I attempt to copy to the prt: device,
I get the error that "the object is in use".
	I have set up the printer options via prefs printer.  Any suggestions 
for what I need to look for.
	Note: I even tried booting without starting/defining  my applications 
and the results are still the same.  In order for me to print, I have to boot
WB 1.3.

Thanx 
  Hugh

5308.1Parallel set in PREFS?SWAM1::WILLIAMS_BRWed Jan 01 1992 23:339
    Hugh,
    I'm not trying to be funny or condesending; have you checked Prefs to
    be sure that the PRT: device is set to the parallel port?  If so, then
    do you have a modem hooked up?  If so is it on?  If not, try turning it
    on.  If it works then I think I have a fix for you.  Also be sure that
    you have the latest and greatest #?.device in DEVS:, and the proper
    #?.libraries in LIBS:

5308.2re-installation of 2.04 fixed itCSC32::H_ROBINSONFri Jan 03 1992 21:355
    I had checked all of that.  I wound up reinstalling 2.04 and presto,
    now it is working.   So this is one that I will just have to say oh
    well.   Thanks for the reply....
