Problem using WriteFile

I am using WriteFile to write directly to LPT1, where I have an Epson POS
printer.
This works fine unless I have a printer (anything, 'Generic / Text only',
the printer itself) setup to use LPT1 in windows.

Somehow having LPT1 in use in windows is preventing my data from sending
correctly.

I have enabled the option 'Use any interrupt' on my LPT1, and that works
only until I reboot the machine.

Has anyone ever encountered this before?

In some computer I cannot capture the screen image, but when I change its color bits, say from 32bits to 24 or 16bits, the program can capture the image. Can anyone kindly examine my following code, and point out the flaw:
