- I am (still) running the GA release of 2.0. The only printer driver
- installed (or wanted, for that matter) is IBMNULL. It is set in raw mode.
- Try the following commands in a VDM
-
- echo "hello" > prn:
- -- this works, the "hello" is sent to the printer queue
-
- copy file prn:
- -- this does not work. The copy command completes
- with no complaints, but nothing goes to the printer
- queue. Replace prn: with lpt1: and everything
- works fine.
-
- Comments, fixes, etc. are welcome (especially from IBM).
