Possible Cause and Solution
Quit all software application. Remove all software from the
StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer
driver.
• Make sure the cables are connected correctly, the printer
is on, and the Data light on the control panel is on.
• If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the
driver, it will also cause this message.
• From the Start menu, select Settings, then Printers.
Right-click on the Samsung ML-4500 printer icon and
select Properties. From the Details tab, click on Port
Settings. Remove check from Check Port State before
Printing box and click OK. From Spool Settings, select
Print Directly to Printer and click OK. Try printing
again.
• Close all other applications, reboot Windows, and try
printing again.
• Delete all temp files from the Temp sub-directory. You
can determine the name of the directory by editing the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file and locking for the statement, "Set
Temp =". The name after this statement is the temp
directory. It is usually C:\temp by default, but can be
redefined.
