How do I print to a dot matrix printer using LPT1?

[cdreike]

OS is XP. 

I have an old application that worked previously. I built a new executable and installer and installed on my target machine. New hardware but same model as used before.

I used VISA with LPT1 as the resource name. I get back an error 1073807302.

The printer is working as evidenced by printing from Notepad. I installed the driver from XP. The printer is a Panasonic KXP1150. I need the tractor feed for this application.

Anyone have an idea where to start trouble shooting?

thanks,

Chris

Are you trying this on the same machine it used to work on or is this a different machine that is giving you trouble.

This is a different machine. However, same brand and model motherboard in the computer.
