- A friend of mine is having a problem with printing. The printer
- port seems to be generating EXTRA interrupts as per the PRNINTST
- program. A couple of lines get printed and then it stops, if he
- presses the online button a couple of times, it starts again and
- then stops after a line. He has to keep pressing the online button
- to finish the job! I don't think there are any IRQ conflicts and
- replacing the printer port is not an option since it is also an
- IDE controller card/serial port. In WinOS/2, NOTHING prints, everything
- just hangs (probably because the session is tied up waiting for
- the printer to be finished.) Any suggestiosn? Thanks!
