- I've just installed an Intel SatisFAXtion board in my 486 clone. The
- board came with a crippled version of Intel FAXability software for
- Windows where you set up the fax as a printer device. Nice to fax stuff
- from WfW etc. Howsomever, when someone faxes stuff to my machine, the
- Intel software hangs onto the document, makes you "save" it as a *.DCX
- file. Then, you've got to break it up into *.PCX files using a DOS
- command (outside Windows). Then, I import the images into WfW or
- Paintbrush and print.
-
- My problem: I've got this one page WfW document with a single PCX image
- (about 200K). When I go to print the damn thing, Print Manager keeps
- halting with the dreaded stop sign and a message that says "The printer
- on LPT1 is not responding. Check the printer or increase the
- Transmission Retry value (it's 120 sec.) ... and resume the print
- queue." What's going on??? After 12 minutes pm says its completed 44%
- of 202K and crashes again.
-
- I have a 486/50 clone with 16 Mb ram with a HP Laserjet III w/2Mb
- optional memory in addition to its stnd 1 Mb internal memory and a
- official HP Postscript cartridge. I'm running Win 3.1 and WfW 2.0.
- Why does this thing balk at a measly little 200K file?? Why does print
- manager take 15+ minutes to send this thing over a parallel port??
- With all that memory I thought it'd be zapped over in no time at all.
-
- Any help will be greatly appreciated.
