For instance,this could be an attempt to print a document when the port is claimed by a scanning application.Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional components of machine (printer and scanner) sharethe same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different user applicationsto the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed togain control over the device. The other user will encounter “device busy” response. You shouldopen ports configuration and select the port assigned to your machine. In the Selected portpane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you shouldeither wait for completion of the current job or press the Release port button, if you are surethat the present application is not functioning properly.Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in thecommand line parameter, then remove it to print properly.
