1. Use Control Panel / System to select the Hardware tab.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. Double-click Ports.
4. If only LPT3 is listed, make sure that your printers use LPT3.
5. Close Device Manager and close System Properties.
To set the port for your printer:
1. Use Control Panel / Printers and Faxes to right-click your printer and press Properties.2. Select the Ports tab.
3. Clear the LPT1: box and check the LPT3: box.
4. Press OK.
