    Unhappy problem for writing to parallel port LPT1 on windows by RXTX library

    Hello friends,

    I have problem in my java application and rxtx library .

    my application recives some events in observer mechanism and for each event sends event description to printer on parallel port(LPT1 in win) by rxtxcomm.

    my application works fine on linux but on windows, after receiving some events and prints them , the crash happend .

    public class PrinterPortCommunication {
     
        static PrinterPortCommunication instance = null;
        public final String[] PORT_TYPE = {"Serial Port", "Parallel Port"};
        private String parallelPortName = null;
        private OutputStream outputStream = null;
        private ParallelPort parallelPort = null;
        private CommPortIdentifier port = null;
        static int lineCountLimit = 0;
        static byte[] headerByte = null;
        static int lineCounter = 0;
        private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(PrinterPortCommunication.class);
     
        public static PrinterPortCommunication getInstance() {
            if (instance == null) {
     
                instance = new PrinterPortCommunication();
     
            }
            return instance;
     
     
        }
     
        public void init(String parallelPortName, String headerText, int lineCountLimit) throws OnlinePrintException {
            try {
                this.parallelPortName = parallelPortName;
                PrinterPortCommunication.lineCountLimit = lineCountLimit;
                headerText = headerText + " \n";
                headerByte = headerText.getBytes("UTF8");
     
                port = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier(parallelPortName);
                parallelPort = (ParallelPort) port.open("EventRecorder", 50);
                outputStream = parallelPort.getOutputStream();
                logger.info("\nport.portType = " + port.getPortType());
                logger.info("port type = " + PORT_TYPE[port.getPortType() - 1]);
                logger.info("port.name = " + port.getName());
            } catch (IOException ex) {
     
                throw new OnlinePrintException("No paper to print->" + "outputStream" + "\n");
            } catch (Exception ex) {
     
                throw new OnlinePrintException("can not fine this port->" + parallelPortName + "\n");
     
            }
        }
     
        public void print(String printerCodes) throws OnlinePrintException {
            try {
                printerCodes = printerCodes + " \n";
                byte[] byteArray = printerCodes.getBytes("UTF8");
     
     
                if (lineCounter == lineCountLimit) {
     
                    outputStream.write(headerByte);
                    outputStream.flush();
                    outputStream.close();
                    lineCounter = 0;
                }
     
                outputStream.write(byteArray);
                outputStream.flush();
                outputStream.close();
                lineCounter++;
     
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                throw new OnlinePrintException("Error in port's outputStream.first initiate the         PrintPortCommunication class.\n");
            }
     
        }
    }
     
     
    code to send print:
     PrinterPortCommunication.getInstance().init("LPT1", "", 5);
       public synchronized void update(Observer observer, final Object obj) {
     
            try {
     
                            PrinterPortCommunication.getInstance().print("event description....");
                   }
                catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.getMessage();
                ex.printStackTrace();
                logger.warn("***Exception***" + ex.toString());
            }
     
     
        }
    after reciving events in each second or less ,the crash happend with this error:

    Default Re: problem for writing to parallel port LPT1 on windows by RXTX library

    the only diffrence that i know of that might cause this is linux uses the forward slash and windows uses the back slash (or the other way around , i dont remember ) in the file paths , that may cause it , but really idk whats causing it
