I know this sounds rather --- anti-freeDOS, but if the MS-DOS bootable floppy works fine and you have them and they're all well and good... why're you needing freeDOS? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Stamm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "freedos user" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 12:00 PM Subject: [Freedos-user] Printer Problems

Our company uses dos-based terminal emulation software that I'm using with freedos and I'm having problems with the parallel printer. > > In our application we use old PC's (486/Pentium I) as dumb terminals that contain minimal memory and a floppy drive. The emulation software boots from a DOS-bootable floppy. The emulation software supports a printer on LPT1. > > Using MS-DOS the software works fine. When I use freedos I can not access the printer. The printer appears to be hung. The printer being used is a Okidata Microline. The 'hung' symptom is that the printer can't be accessed (not even a print screen) and the printer's front control panel appears locked, no buttons work (FF, LF, SEL, etc.). The MSDOS bootable floopy works ok. > > Please help! > > Thank you > Matt Stamm > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials > Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of > GenToo technologies.
