What's the number after the "N"?

I'm not sure how to parse that sentence.

I installed the 64-bit Win7 drivers.  Perhaps you failed to do so?

However, given that the error says it's trying to print to LPT1, I have a 
feeling that the config is not set as you think it is.  Try changing the 
destination of the printer line you think is being used, and set it to 
something like "c:\appl\fp\output.txt".  See if you still get an error on 
LPT1, or if the file gets created.  (Adjust the path as needed.)

If it still gives an error on LPT1, try putting up a message box with the 
contents of @PR, @PT, @PD, and @PC to see what things are really set to.
