In both the SP and now the 2.1 beta the windows program EPSCAN2 (a scanner 
program) cannot use the LPT2 port to which the scanner is connected. OS2 
reports that LPT2 is busy (being used by another app) even when nothing else 
is running. 

This problem can be fixed by replacing the SP/2.1beta VLPT.SYS file with the 
version from 2.0GA.
