SYMPTOMS
When you are changing printers in Control Panel or an application, some
of the printer configuration options (such as Network or Settings) are
unavailable.
CAUSE
Some of the parallel port entries in the [ports] section of the WIN.INI
file contain lowercase letters.
RESOLUTION
To make the printer configuration options available, edit the parallel port
entries in the [ports] section of the WIN.INI file. Change the parallel
port entries so that they are in all uppercase letters.
MORE INFORMATION
The affected ports will appear in lowercase letters in the Control Panel
Printers utility. Network connections for the affected ports are lost and
you cannot create new network connections for the ports.
