Hi,
I have built a CE image using platform builder for PC
and downloaded it to the PC. I have connected the PC to a
HP Deskjet 640 for the purpose of testing the printers
ports(parallel and USB). I tried to print from wordpad.
The ports where listed (serial, parallel, IRDA but not
USB). But printing didn't happen. Similarly I tried to
open the device using CreateFile() with LPT1: as
parameter. It also fails. (It works for serial port COM1).
What may be the reason?

Regards,
Janardhanan.R.

Please open build console and
set SYSGEN_PARALLEL=1
blddemo clean -q

And try it again.
