- This message means the target object PRT: is in use, or otherwise
- unavailable. For instance, it could mean that an application has
- the printer open.

- In your case, its more likely your preference settings are incorrect.
- Fire up preferences, and check. Is it properly set to parallel or serial ?
- (Make sure the parallel.device, serial.device, and printer.device
- are in the devs: directory)
-
- Is the driver set to the one you want ? (Also make sure the driver
- you've selected is present on the disk, in devs:printers )
-
- Since you've just upgraded and added a hard drive, its most likely
- some of your settings need to be redone.
