help! printing

I've configured an HP deskjet 3650 printer. However, when I try to print nothing happens. In the printer configuration I see:

"Status: Ready: Parallel port busy; will retry in 30 seconds."

How do I free up the parallel port so the print job will go through?

(Please hurry! I'm setting up a printer at my in-laws. Must go home tomorrow!)

Thanks,

SR

Please disregard - got it.

I selected the wrong port initially and could not change it later, although Ubuntu makes look like I can.

I had to recreate the printer and select the right port.

Thanks,
