Hi all,
    I am having trouble printing remotely on a lan (lanlink 5x & multilink)
through certain programs. Everything prints fine on the pc with the printer
attached but the remote pc works for print-screen, print, 123 with remote
lpt1 configured. It will not print in 123 with lpt1 configured as local.

    The application I really need to get working is in ms compiled basic, I
have tried the following qbasic programs.
 
10 lprint "test"

and this gives device unavailable

but

10 open "lpt1" for output as #1
20 write #1, "test"

works ok. If anyone has any ideas or workarounds for this please let me know.
Please reply via email if possible.
