Improving the print quality
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (see page 3-8). If the printout looks good, the
problem is probably not the printer. Check the interface cable or try the printer on another PC.
This section provides information on the following topics:
Problem Recommendation
The printer cannot print. There
was an error writing to
LPT1: (or BRUSB) for the
printer error message occurs
on your PC.
Check that the printer cable is not damaged or broken.
If you have an interface-switching device, make sure the correct printer is
selected.

HL-5150D and HL-5170DN)

Save mode in the printer Properties tab of the driver.
