OS 9.1 Printer Problem

HELP! I have a Mac G3/233MHz Processor/4GB HD/348MB Memory. The printer functioned with OS 8.5 After I installed the OS 9.1 software, I couldn't print. I get a message saying that the serial port is already in use. The new operating system has set my printer port for some other use. I checked my printer drive and it was OK. Apple Talk was set to use the printer port so I changed it to remote and set Apple Talk to inactive. My HP DeskWriter 560C printer still doesn't work even after I rebooted the system. I still get a message "Sorry, could complete the operation because of a system error. The serial port is already in use." What else could the printer port be used for? When the OS 9.1 system booted for the first time, a communication error message was displayed. It asked about resetting previous settings. I clicked OK.
My printer is working OK. It turned out to be a simple problem. When I installed OS 9.1, it switched the serial port from printer to modem. I didn't notice the change before. Thanks,
