Powerbook 180 "Serial Ports already in use" error message.

Did you ever get an error message, when trying to print from a Powerbook 180 (to the original HP Deskwriter via HP Print application), that the serial port(s) were already in use? If yes, what is the solution?

Have you turned AppleTalk/TCP/IP and MIDI off? Is anything else turned on that uses the ports?

Thanks for the suggestion. I did solve the problem.
