Infra-red printing to BJC-80

I know the BJC-80 is a little old, but I'm trying to print via infra-red on win98SE to the BJC-80. I can see the infra-red icon in the sys tray flashing away, it knows about the BJC-80 cos when I bring up the properties window of the infra-red it knows that it is within range (Good communications)

I know the printer is not at fault b'cos I can print via std centronics/parallel.

I have tried to disable bi-di printing, no avail.

The generic error msg that i get from windows is exactly the same as when as if the printer is turned off. ie. "There was an error writing to LPT3: ..." (LPT3 is the infra-red printing port)

Have d/led the latest drivers from the net off canon's website.

Any help pls - if anyone else has had experience with this.

Hi.
Go to Control Panel, Printers. Right click on your printer's icon and choose Properties.
Change the port from LPT3 to COM4.
That would solve your problem.

Good luck.
