- I have installed os2 on my system and all seems to work well except for
- printing from DOS programs.
-
- System:
- 486-33
- 8 MB RAM
- 105 and 120 MB Disks
- HP LJ IIP on LPT1:
- Logitech Serial Mouse on COM1:
- Boot Manager with os2 and DOS
-
- When I run WordPerfect 5.1 and Quattro Pro 4.0 as migrated applications
- under os2 they seem to function properly with the exception that I cannot
- seem to get anything to print.
-
- With WP I am using FaceLift for WP for fonts. Quattro Pro also uses scalable
- fonts.
-
- I experience no problems printing with these programs under DOS. Also, I can
- print successfully from within os2 in such areas as the help files, etc.
-
- I have read the FAQ, the readme file, talked with IBM os2 support, and
- experimented with settings (disabling the print spooler). Nothing seems to
- reslove this problem.
-
- I am hoping that someone in netland can offer some suggestions.
-
- The discussions that are carried on in the various comp.os.os2.xxxx
- newsgroups have been a real lifesaver regarding the other pitfalls that come
- up during installation. Thanks to everyone! I think os2 is great. It will
- be even greater when I can print something.
-
- Thanks in advance for any help offered - Tom
