How do I get printmanager to spool more than 2KB of file at a time?
The print window stays up until less than 2KB of the file remains.
Printmanager icon disappears after the last 2KB has printed.
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP shows ~MFxxxx.TMP and two ~SPLxxxx.TMP files which change size
and names about every 1.5KB during printing.
SYSTEM 286 AT VLSI MB with 2MB EXTENDED ram
AMI BIOS
49 MB Hard drive with 20+ MB free.
Windows 3.0 and DOS 4.01
Windows in Standard mode
running Windows 3.0 IBM Graphics print driver to a compatible
printer on LPT1.
Windows 3.0 HIMEM.SYS installed.
PRINT /D:LPT1 running
GRAPHICS GRAPHICS running
Have tried shutting down all the TSR's except HIMEM.SYS and also using
LPT1.OS2 (On the advice of Microsoft Product Support) with no change.
Printing from DOS with PRINT allows me to spool multi KB files without a
hitch.
Microsoft support has never seen this before, maintaining that there is no
limit to the spool file size with printmanager. They also said that there
are NO switches or magic stuff to set the size of the spool file and that
there should only be one!!
HELP! I'm expiring from screen freeze!!
Thanks for your help.
