APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q150699

SUMMARY

When printing to a nonexistent local or network port, you receive no error messages. This behavior is by design and is consistent with most other Windows-based applications.

MORE INFORMATION

If a print job is sent to an invalid destination, the Windows Printer Manager produces a error condition to notify you of the problem.

To find out what port is used by a printer driver, open the Windows Control Panel, double-click Printers, select the printer, on the File menu click Properties, and then click the Details tab. If you are using Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, the last step is to click the Ports tab.
