I'm helping a client set up kermit95 on PC's (to connect
to an Alpha/VMS system), and am having printing problems.
The program sends escape sequences for the printer while
in printer passthrough mode, which works fine on real
VT??? terminals, and k95 when going to a DOS device.
However, they want to be able to use the printer port
to send to a windows que printer. When I try this,
windows 98 does very bad things. It takes the print
job, and sends it to the printer a few lines per page
(aparently every time the printer port is turned on/off
it does a page break, instead of waiting for the printer
timeout value), and all the escape sequences are
stripped out/rudely mangled.
Is there some way around these problems?
