I posted this to comp.windows.ms, but got no response so I'm trying here.
Besides, this *may* be a 4DOS/Windows interaction.
I was printing a line-art drawing in Paintbrush to my Epson LQ-800 and
I kept getting only 25% of the picture to print. After that the printer
would hang. I shelled out and copied the spool file, then I stopped
Print Manager and copied the file to prn myself. Same result. I then
used the /b switch to copy it and all was well. A quick check of 4DOS
help confirmed that copy assumes an ascii copy if the source or destination
is a device. Since my spool file was huge, I didn't go in and confirm
that there was a control-Z; a copy with /a only moved 25% of the file.
Is this a known Windows bug, or is it an interaction between 4DOS and
Windows?
