Microsoft Windows NT, Beta October 1992
Problem Printing to Hewlett-Packard DeskJet Printers
System Error 21
The Microsoft Windows NT product group has recently identified a printing
problem on some systems when printing to Hewlett-Packard DeskJet,
DeskJet Plus and DeskJet 500 printers from Windows NT. Error 21 is known
to occur when attempting to print unless the printer was powered off when
the system was booted. The problem occurs due to a failure on the part of
the parallel port driver to reset if the printer is turned on at
initialization of Windows NT. If you print to one of the aforementioned
printers, you may encounter this problem.
If you encounter this problem, please take the following steps to replace
the driver as instructed below. We appreciate our customers efforts in
reporting problem areas and encourage you to continue working with us to
improve the product. If you continue to encounter similar problems, please
let us know.
