What sort of network software are you using. Are you using OT or MacTCP.
You may be getting the message because OT is grabbing the modem port on
startup. Or, if your using PPP and it's set to open on startup then your
modem port would be busy. In other words, it may not be a hardware problem
but networking/communications software. Check you software configurations.
If all looks "normal", try restarting with only your printer software in
the extensions folder and move all non-Apple cdevs and inits to their
respective disabled folders. Try hooking up your printer to the modem port
and make the necessary chooser changes. If the printer works then it is
most likely your networking/communications apps/inits/cdevs. Actually, you
might want to try this before looking through all the software. Hope this
helps.
