I have a Gateway 486DX2-66V connected to an Epson LQ800
printer.  My problem is that I cannot use the LPT1 option
in Windows (it prints garbage when I try it) and so I have
to use the LPT1.DOS option.  The printer works fine with
all DOS and OS/2 applications that I have tried.

The Windows manual does not give an adequate explanation
of just what the difference is between LPT1 and LPT1.DOS.
My guess is that the "DOS" version uses BIOS and the normal
one does not.  My system's performance while printing is
pathetic and I would like to alleviate the problem.

Thanks for the help.

Kevin
