Okay I had a similar problem, it would goto the Print spooler and
it would stay there, well first I would try using the IBM NULL... driver
it works fine, if that does not work, you need to find out if you have
a bidirectional parralell port if you don't it will not print.. I had to replace
mine to get Warp and OS/2 2/1.1 to print... you may wanna cheack and see
if your printer cable is using all 25 wires or just 9, that would do that too
first I would try a new cable, if not get a new io card... make sure it is
bidirectional, that is the most important...
Good luck... Later Ron
P.S. I love Red Dwarf too.. hehehe it very funny, hey do you know
how long till the marathon will be on again?
later
