Kenwood TH-F6A programming software - can't print

[N6EG]

I've got an HP laptop running the latest version of Windows 2000.  I downloaded and installed the Kenwood programming software for my TH-F6A.  I have the Kenwood PG-4Y cable attached to the serial port on the laptop (no USB converter cable).

The software runs fine.  I was able to connect with the radio and can read the radio memory data and save it to a file on the laptop.  I'd like to print out the data in my memory.  When I click on Print, I get an error message box with a red X and the following error text.

?? 'Mcp_f6f7.exe' ?? 0048CC09 ?? 7C00003C ??

Can anyone help me figure out what's going on and why I can't print?

Thanks.

O.K., I finally got it to print.  I went into device manager and changed the port to LPT2.  So it prints out just fine but now what's printed is just a bunch of gibberish.  Does anyone have any suggestions?


BTW, the printer is not hooked up directly to the laptop but is a network printer (I'm at work).

Thanks.

hi,

did you add a new printer on LPT2 or just
change the port number on network printer ?

I just changed the port number.  Do I need to add a printer?

What's odd is that the Menu A and Menu B information prints out fine, it's just the Memory channels that come out gibberish.

I just use the SW to program, never to print.

If you are using WinBlooz you will have to configure it as a TCP/IP  Network Printer and it will print just fine and dandy after installing the right printer drivers.

Happy QSL label printing
