"The port is used by another device. Printer does not print.
I have a printer Canon D661 on an Ispiron Dell s 545 under Win XP SP3. Everything worked fine until today when he leaves the impression. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the printer through Windows and through the uninstalling Canon.
I have downloaded the latest drivers from Canon, did all my XP, updates my Dell updates driver material and restarted several times than I can count in the process.
I've stopped and started the print spooler.
Still nothing will print. The printer status window insists that "the port is used by another device.
I ran impression of Microsoft Diagnostic tool, he says that's all right.
It is a USB port, as the mouse and keyboard. Nothing else. I tried swapping USB ports between elements, no help.
The printer works fine if I plug it into my USB netbook, so it's not the printer.
I receive the error message even if the printer is connected to the office he "belongs" to.
Until yesterday it worked fine, same print network jobs on other computers.
I went home from 11:00 to 18:30 today. Help?
Thanks for the reply!
I tried what you suggested, but it did not work.
Finally, I got it going. For some reason even if it was still installed on LPT1 on that question and two other computers, this computer has stopped working.
I found the installer was not obvious choice to install on USB1 and that was when he started working.
Interestingly, it works installed on LPT1 on two laptop computers when it is connected in fact on their USB ports.
Thanks again.

Error 633 modem or another device connection does not...
OK, I tried literally everything to get my modem working again. He used to work some time ago... but since SP2 has been installed it is the first time that I used it (normally online via broadband network) and he refuses to work.
There is no dial tone at all - the message immediately after the opening of port dialogue...
Displays modem device manager is OK - no yellow question mark.
Properties of the modem shows active sound and COM3. No conflicts.
I tried so far the telephon.ini and tapiini.exe which has been proposed by microsoft to find that they do not exist on XP systems.
I have uninstalled and installed the modem twice, as well as the software - the same error.
I can still query the modem at all - same error.
I recently installed the new software modem available on this site and it is listed as Toshiba Software Modem (driver provider is Agere). Even the program to set the country code reports an error - unable to open the port.
Please - what on earth goes here - usually something solves a problem - again, I spent three days looking and nothing works. Microsoft has really screwed up to SP2?
There is nothing in my system that uses a modem - recent software has been CutePDF printer, sony ericsson mobile phone image software that has been uninstalled because it did not work (I have not Infra red). Everything else has been there even where it worked.
Please can anyone offer help - I'll reiterate that everything with the system reports as running OK.
Thanks in advance
Hi guys
One of my friends had the same problem. We tried to solve the problem, but without success. He sends his notebook to the Service partner and the modem is reworked. Now, it works fine.
If you have European machines there are two-year warranty. Contact Service partner they do the same thing on your laptops of the ca.
Good bye

try installing acrobat. I bought it at Best Buy. The reception contains a serial number enabled to use when configuring the software. I walked into this and it says invalid series. Because Adobe also gives me a redemption inside the packaging code to receive a serial number online, I tried this and it also says inactive redemption code. I called Best Buy and they say that it has been activated on their end and the issue needs to be addressed with ADOBE.

If you have any other printer\scanner connected to the computer, disconnect them and check if it works.

8 casual Windows no noise problems. The camera is used by another application.
Hello
I had sound problems with the speakers on an HP Ultrabook running Windows 8. Sometimes the laptop speakers stop working. When this happens, I go to control panel > sound, speakers (one set to select), select Configuration and Test. After selecting the Test, I get the message device in use. The camera is used by another application. Please close all units are audio playback on this device, and then try again. I went to the properties for the speakers, the Advanced tab and unchecked option "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device." I also used the term sndvol to try to determine the application, but it only shows the device: speakers / HP and Applications: System sounds.The only way I could get the speakers to work is to restart or turn off and turn on the pilot for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. Does anyone know how to determine the application causing the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.
Gary
On the forum of the community of HP HP technician found that uninstalling Microsoft update KB2962407 should solve the problem. This update is a patch that says "shortened battery life when an inactive audio device is not turned off on a computer running Windows. I installed this update on June 19. I have no updates installed July, so uninstall updates July cannot solve the problem.

I have a new HP with Windows 7. I'm scanning in legal size docs. with my printer/scan/fax. The application of fax scan in windows 7 does not show an option to paper size for legal-size paper. I could do this on my old XP computer. Microsoft forgot add parameters of legal size in this application?
Hello notnewbee,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.
You do not give the model of your printer/scanner/fax machine so I can't direct you to the website of the manufacturer of specifc. However, I would
you go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and download the latest drivers for Windows 7. Sometimes, if you use a driver that is not intended for your operating system, then your device can operate and install, but some features may not work.If they do not have an updated driver, then try the compatibility mode for Windows XP and see if your printer will work correctly.
The information below will show you how you can make older programs run on Windows 7 here.If please reply back and let us know if this helps solve your problem or if you still need help.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
