- In both the SP and now the 2.1 beta the windows program EPSCAN2 (a scanner
- program) cannot use the LPT2 port to which the scanner is connected. OS2
- reports that LPT2 is busy (being used by another app) even when nothing else
- is running.
-
- This problem can be fixed by replacing the SP/2.1beta VLPT.SYS file with the
- version from 2.0GA.
