Has anyone experienced any trouble with Windows 3 Print Manager's error message:

   The Print Manager cannot write to LPT1.  There
   may be a printer problem.

   resume the queue when the problem is
   corrected or cancel the document

This occurs whenever I try to print something out through
Windows 3.
I have checked the connection on LPT1 through using other packages such as
VENTURA 2 and Harvard Graphics etc... and they all worked okay when printing.
At first I thought that there may be some confliction between my EMS and Windows3 so I have disabled the EMS but still no luck!
My system environment is:

IBM AT compatible, 4Mb RAM, DOS 4.00
Shadow RAM(enabled), Award BIOS 1985, NEAT chipset,
2Mb EMS (emulated through 82C212 chip),
SuperVGA card, harddisk.
