Subject: Printing in MS-DOS window under WT95
 
Hi,
 
  For 2 days now I've been trying to track down an intermittant error in a 
ew
print routine I was putting together. It seemed that when/if I attempted to
send any  commands after I'd started printing and the printer was still
working on a page that the  command would be sent, the  skipped 
ver
and the subsiquent character(s) printed then printing would be halted without
finishing the assigned task!
 
  Anyhow, all this was going on in a WinTrash DOS window and, after some
SERIOUS verbage and masterful mouse clicking I __THINK__ I've found the 
ource
of my (windoze's) problem... You have to:
 
open the control pannel
click on the 'printers' icon
(R)click on your printer icon
Click on 'Properties'
Click on 'Details'
Click on 'Port Settings'
Turn OFF 'Spool MS-DOS Print Jobs'
Close 'er down
 
Arrrrrrrrggggggggggggggg!!!!!!
