This article was previously published under Q64510 SUMMARY
When you print to a port such as LPT1.OS2 or LPT2.OS2, you may receive
the error message "Cannot Create File" in Microsoft Windows if the last
drive accessed is no longer available. If the last drive accessed was a
floppy disk drive, then you may receive the message "System Error, Cannot
Read From Drive X:," where X is the name of the drive.
For example, if the last drive that was accessed in Windows was
drive A and there is currently no disk in drive A (or if the
drive door is not shut) and you attempt to print to a file, you will
receive the message "System Error, Cannot Read From Drive A:."
It is necessary to access a valid drive before you print to a file or
insert a disk (with enough disk space) into the drive in question
before you select a print option.
