Are you using SetCommState on the port ?

If so, are you first doing a GetCommState ? This sets up the DCB structure to valid values

Hi all,

I m communicating to a printer device through serial port.It
is failing to open the port,but when I disable and enable the com port
in device manager,it works fine(i.e)it communicates with the printer
and reads the configuration settings of the printer).


Regards
Hari


I would be wary of using/trusting GetCommState(), lots of people seem to have problems with this function, see other threads/newsgroups.
