Getting Help When Things Go Wrong
4
I have a USB cable,
and when I try to print I get
a message saying “There
was an error writing to
LPT1.”
You may not have plugged
your USB cable in before
installing the software.
1 Disconnect the USB cable from your
printer.
2 Insert the printer software CD (or Disk 1 if
you have diskettes) into your computer.
3 Click Start Run.
4 Browse the CD, select Setup, then click
Open.
5 The setup.exe file will appear in the dialog
box. Click OK.
6 Select the Remove HP DeskJet 950C
Series software option to remove the
software.
7 Connect the USB cable to your printer
again. The USB installation screen should
appear again.
8 Repeat the “Install USB software” step. See
your Quick Start Poster or page 50 in this
User’s Guide.
My printer is
connected with a USB cable
through another USB
device or hub and when I
try to print I get a message
saying “There was an error
writing to <name of USB
port>.”
Your printer may not be
getting good data from the
other device or hub.
Connect the printer directly to the USB port
on the computer.
