- I got a new laser printer (RealTech 9 ppm) hooked up to a
- Mac and a PC. On the PC, the printer works fine from Windows
- and from WordPerfect 5.1 in the DOS world.
-
- However, I can no longer print from the DOS command line, as
- I used to be able to do with my old dot matrix printer. When
- I try to (either by Print Screen command, or a PRINT
- command) the data light on the printer flashes, but nothing
- else happens.
-
- The printer has a Form Feed button, but apparently it isn't
- functional. The manual says "Ignored" beside that button,
- and when I go off line and press it after the data light
- flashes, I just get a beep.
-
- Anybody got any idea? I'll be grateful.
