- I posted a message asking for a printer driver for Fujitsu XD2200 dox-matrix
- printer. Nobody replied. There is no OS/2 driver, but I have found there
- is a driver for WinOS2, though Freeelance Graphics Working Model 1.0 says it's
- an old version.
-
- Last time I mentioned that the IBMNULL driver works, but later I found one
- thing weird. OS/2 can only print when my C-Kermit is running, and the C-Kermit
- uses a modem configured as COM3 using IRQ5 (I have only one parallel port, LPT1
- IRQ7; IRQ5 usually works for LPT2; my COM1 and 2 are assigned to IRQ4 and 3,
- respectively and usually.) When I stop using C-Kermit or COM3 or IRQ5, OS/2
- always tells me that the "Printer is Turned Off, Switch it On".
-
- My system has SP applied. What is really the problem?
