GoldED is filetype based. Look in the menu "Extras/Customize" and select
the Text file type. Text is the default and there is a Printer setting. It
allows you to change various settings. It does not let you to change the
destination. IIRC it uses PRT: by default which should not be a problem.
All GED filetypes use the Text file type as default unless you add the
various options to a different file type and then change the settings for
that file type.
Having said that, your OS printer prefs should be set to either Parallel
(usually) or serial depending what kind of printer you have. That is unless
you have a third party I/O card.
