I had the same problem when installing Coherent on my 386sx laptop.  
Since I did not have the printer plugged in when installing Coherent, 
I did not have it test the printer setup during installation.  When I 
tried printing, it could not find the driver.  

I re-installed Coherent later on, with the printer plugged in.  When I 
asked it to test the printer setup, it still could not print on LPT1.  
Now, my laptop only has one printer port, and since I had been using 
it with DOS I knew the port was LPT1. But since Coherent could not 
find LPT1 I tried LPT2 and Bingo! Everything worked perfectly, and I 
have had no more printing problems.
