[comp.windows.ms] Brain Dead Print Manager in 3.0

jin@spdcc.COM (Jerry Natowitz) (04/07/91)

Although I didn't confirm it by examining the file, it appears as if the
Print Manager will not read a spool file past an embedded <EOF>.

I was attempting to print a file from a Paintbrush picture but after printing
about 25% of the picture my Epson LQ-800 hung.  I shelled out, copied the
.tmp file, aborted Print Manger, exitted Windows, and then copied the file
to prn.  Same behavior.  I then copied with /b  and the file printed to
completion.  I'm using 4DOS where copies to devices are assumed to be
non-binary.

Is this a Windows problem, or a Windows/4DOS interaction?
