[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Printer Problem

drf@ihlpa.ATT.COM (Feliciano) (11/16/88)

I am having printer problems and hope someone can shed a little
light on the problem.  I have a Radio Shack model DMP130 printer
hooked up to an AT&T 6300 PC.  The problem entails Ctrl-Prt Sc
(continuous screen print) not working from MS-DOS while Prt Sc 
(screen dump) has no problems.  Interestingly, I have *no* problem
with Ctrl-Prt Sc while running CTRM *unless* I escape to MS DOS
using F4- once given the DOS prompt, Ctrl-Prt Sc results in an
error in writing to the printer with the notorious abort, retry,
ignore message.  A continuous screen print does not work with
Lotus 123, but *does* work with Sideways 123 and Microsoft Word!

I would appreciate any insight or, for that matter, speculation.

Thanks in advance.

Feliciano..Make sure that you have loaded "GRAPHICS.COM" before you do any
