Hi everybody,
first of all, thank you for the development of such a useful piece of software...and keeping it free!
I am using Piracom and HW VSP to share a serial Epson printer (for tickets). The printer is attached to the physical COM1 port in one PC (the one that has Piracom installed = server PC), and in the other PC HW VSP is installed (client PC).
From the client PC I can print perfectly (when Piracom is running in the server PC), but from the server PC I cannot: it says "denied access, COM1 port already opened" (it is a translation, perhaps in an English Windows version would say something slightly different). If I close Piracom, I can immediately print from server PC (no need to reboot or anything special). As soon as I run Piracom, I am againg unable to print from this server PC.
Of course, when Piracom is not running, I cannot print from client PC.
I have tried different PC's as "server PC", and it is always the same: from the "server PC", while Piracom is running, it is impossible to print to that COM port, but you can print fine from "client PC's" [I have just edited this info, as I have thought that this issue was not happening under Windows XP, but I was wrong... it is not Windows-version dependent].
Have I been clear enough? Do you need extra information?
Is there something else I have to change/enable, in Windows and/or Piracom?
Next, I will paste my Piracom log file:
