Here's a utility I developed to allow a quick peek at the
LPT port parameters. It analyzes each LPT port (1 through 3)
that has an existing base I/O address in the BIOS data area.
Just run the program, and it will give you the status of the
Printer Busy, Acknowledge, Paper Out, Selected, and Error
signals for all your printers.

Editor's Note: This program can be very useful if you
suspect that one of your printer ports is malfunctioning or
incorrectly configured. It's also handy for checking whether
a network print spooler is malfunctioning, since most
network printing software reports an 'out of paper' or
'busy' condition if it is unable to contact the print
server. LPTSTAT.COM is included in the P5UTL directory on
your PowerBase *.* Volume 5 diskette.
