[comp.os.os2.misc] Printer problems

Matt Richmond <MSR113@psuvm.psu.edu> (05/04/91)

Hi all..  I've finally gotten OS/2 1.3 set up on my system, but
I'm having a major problem getting it to print.  I have a
Panasonic KX-P1180 which can emulate either an Epson FX 86,
Epson FX800, or IBM ProPrinter II.  It really doesn't matter
to me which it emulates, but when I set it up for Epson, I
keep getting this error that it can't write to LPT1.  Just to
make sure it wasn't a hardware problem, I reinstalled DOS 4.01
on another partition, assigning it as an OTHER parallel printer,
and it prints fine!  I was hoping that someone with similar
experiences with Panasonic printers could offer any suggestions..
Or anyone for that matter.. :)  Thanks for any and all help...
