SYMPTOMS
When you print to a local printer, you may receive the following error message:

Error writing to LPT1 : The system cannot find the file specified.

Also, the Parallel device driver may not start and you may see the following event in Event Viewer:

  Event ID: 3 Source: Parallel Type: Error Category: None Description: Not enough memory was available to allocate internal storage needed for the device.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the third-party BasJdrv device driver starts when Windows NT is started.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, disable the BasJdrv device driver by following these steps:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Devices.
 * 3) In the list of devices, click BasJdrv, click Stop, click Startup, click Disabled, click OK, and then click Close.
 * 4) Restart your computer.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is caused by installing the Xilinx M1.3 JTAG Programmer software. This software installs the BasJdrv.sys driver, which accesses the parallel port and conflicts with the printer driver. For more information about Xilinx software, visit the following Xilinx Web site:
