- Is it normal for windows to stop while print manager prints to a printer
- called lpt1.prn?
-
- Print manager is set to low priority (or medium). I have a printer
- setup to print to lpt1 thru DOS by calling it lpt1.prn.
-
- Windows stops, can't even switch to other apps. Until printmanager has stopped
- sending data to the printer. Works fine if the port is lpt1: (I think!).
