- Sorry for any cross-posting.

- I have a 386 with DR DOS 6 connected to an Apple PLW NTR.
- If I want to print Postscritp files with TYPE or COPY commands, I easily
- get a "Not ready error while writing to device LPT1. Abort, Retry, Cancel"
- (I translated back in English the Italian localized string). I think this
- has
- got something to do with port timeout. If I press R(etry) shortly after
- the
- message appears, the printing process proceeds normally. I can get
- several
- such messages, and I have to press R each time. If I don't, the printing
- gets
- aborted. Now, is this something I have to fix at DOS level or at the
- printer
- level? How can I set a longer timeout parameter? Or is this perhaps a
- "native"
- NRT/DOS problem?
-
- Please reply DIRECTLY to me. Thanks.
