Subject: Switching from 132- to 80-column mode and printer

Hello,
using MS-DOS-Kermit 3.14 for some weeks now as a replacement for a
dead VT320 terminal I recognize following problem I am unable to find
a solution for in the documentation.
Most of the output our old VAX software (running nearly 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, mostly without any user interaction) sends to the
screen is 80 columns wide. By transparent printing to a printer
attached to the parallel port of the PC we get a hardcopy protocol of
the output. When on certain instances the software switches to 132
column mode, screen and printer output continue as wanted. When
switching back to 80 columns the screen output is still ok, whereas no
further printing will occur.During the process of switching the
printer indicator PRN at the right-hand side of the Kermit status line
disappears, and printing must be re-enabled by hand at the time the
user notices the lack of printout.
Question: How can a continuous printing during switching from 132 to
80 column mode be achieved?
Thanks in advance.
