I posted a message regarding this problem a few weeks ago and it either
didn't make it to the net or it was too stupid a question to merit a
response.
I hope it's the former.
I'm having problems printing from Compaq OS/2 1.1 rev B. I'm using an
Epson LQ-850 and have not been able to get so much as a line feed from the
printer.
I've tried using both IBMNULL and IBM4201 printer drivers with the same
results; shortly after sending the print job to the spooler I receive an
error telling me that my printer is not on (exact error number forgotton).
I've tried disabling the spooler altogether with no luck. I know the
printer driver is responsible for initializing the printer; does this mean
I need the correct Epson driver to get any output at all?? If so, will the
IBM 1.2 version of OS/2 printer drivers work with Compaq 1.1 ??
Compaq tells me they hope to ship their version of 1.2 in the second
quarter; in the meantime I have an operating system incapable of printing.
Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Of course everything works fine if I boot DOS.

I am 90% sure that rev B works also. I recommend that you check that OS/2 is installed correctly and your hardware is working. If that does not solve the problem, send in for your free upgrade to rev C. good luck
