I've got a PM 8500 with an HP600 printer. Using sys 9.1 I keep getting the message "the serial port is already open or in use" when I try to print anything. I've rebuild the desktop, replaced the printer software, zapped the pram. It still won't print.
You'll get that occasionally if AppleTalk is using your printer port. Open you AppleTalk control panel and see what port it has selected. That's where I get most of the issues with printer conflicts...

I did what you suggested, and it worked. What I don't understand is why it happened now after all this time of using it.
Thank you for your help and kindness.
