To work around this problem, do one of the following:
Workaround 1
If you do not need the LPT port for local printing, you can disable
the check for device contention by removing the following line in the
SYSTEM.INI file:
DEVICE=VPD.386
Disabling VPD.386 doesn't affect the ability of Windows for Workgroups
to print over the network. However, if you are printing locally, no
warning appears and printouts may have garbled characters, or you may
experience network communication problems.
Workaround 2
In Control Panel, choose the 386 Enhanced Mode icon. Set the Idle Time
for the port in question to zero (0). This turns off VPD trapping for
that port.
