HP5L and Win-OS2 printing is working for me. I have the Windows 3.x driver
version 1.10.

Somehow I remember that I had to take the '/IRQ' switch off from CONFIG.SYS
printer device driver load. I have just BASEDEV=PRINT01.SYS
If I had that /IRQ switch I could not print anything from OS/2 either.

I have following settings for LPT1.OS2
Fast print directly to the port: OFF

And this setting for my printer driver in WIN-OS2
Use print manager: OFF

Hope this helps.
