- All *what* printer output? The output from the print command, a PM program
- or a Windows program?
-
- The default for the print command is whatever is connected to LPT1. Period.
- There are options to make it print to a different printer. Take a look at
- the OS/2 Command Reference. It may not be possible to print a file to a
- printer that is not associated with an LPTX port via the command line. You
- can drop a file on the printer icon and print it though.
-
- If you are printing from a PM program, the program *should* print to the
- default printer however, they have to be written to do this. If the program
- only opens up LPT1 and prints to it, that is exactly what will happen.
-
- I'm not sure what happens when printing from a Windows application.
