HP LaserJet 6L Printer and Companion Installation Problems If you are having installation problems, check the following table. Also, you can refer to online help by selecting Help on your menu bar. Symptom Window message during installation reads: "File in Use." Cannot install the printer drivers. Bidirectional communication between printer and computer has not been established during installation. Your computer cannot read the installation disks. Windows fails to restart. During installation, you get the message "HP LaserJet 6L printer has not been found." Recommended Action Quit all software. Remove all software from the Startup group and then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer drivers. Try the Alternative Installation as described in chapter 1. The cable is not bidirectional. Use only a high-quality IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. The cable is loose, or not directly connected. In Windows 3.1x, open the Control Panel and Printers. Select HP LaserJet 6L and click Connect. Be sure that the correct port has been selected and that "Fast Printing Direct to Port" is check. Note: If any of the above apply, choose skip and continue installation. Check for the proper floppy drive (e.g., A: or B:). Check the disks for damage. Copy disks to the hard drive; then install from your hard drive. If Windows fails to restart when you choose Restart Windows at the end of the installation, the installation has not been successful and the PaperPort software will not work. This includes cases in which the system "hangs" or "freezes" or exits to DOS. Reboot your computer, and then try running the installation program again. If the problem occurs again, quit Windows. At the DOS prompt, change to the Windows System directory by typing CD C:\WINDOWS, and press [Enter]. Type PPUPDATE, and press [Enter]. This completes the installation. Note: The PaperPort software does not support Windows NT, OS/2, or Windows running under OS/2 (Win-OS/2). Check the power cord connections and power source. Make sure you are using a high-quality IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. If, after checking these items, you still see the "HP LaserJet 6L printer has not been found" message, click Continue to proceed with the PCL driver installation. If the installation could not be successfully completed, see the Alternative Installation instructions in chapter 1. 5-14 Troubleshooting and Maintenance EN
