    My Windows XP Home system has suddenly stopped accepting
    print jobs from either Word or Notepad and instead
    displaying a message box with "Port is Busy" as the title
    and "Control program will be closed" as the message.
    Nothing has changed and the computer and printer have not
    been moved. Knowledgebase does not appear to address this
    message.
