This sounds like a good one to run past Lee Fisher and any other Microsofters
that are tuned in. We're evaluating, and will probably get, PCInterface to run
between our PCs and Sparcstations. We're (initially) only going to use it for
the bridge to our Unix printers. After PCI is installed and Windows 3.0 is
running, the print manager errors out on LPT1 right away. PCI is running on
top of Ungermann-Bass' NetOne, so there aren't any MS-Net services (but
NETBIOS is, in theory, available.) Until I figure this out, I'll tell our
users to spool their jobs to a file. Printing works fine from inside a DOS
window, or from outside Windows. Is this a hardware test failing? How can
Windows be made not to mind the redirected LPT port?
