  The Epson driver says "Cannot write to LPT1:" and the IBM driver says
"The printer is not turned on, turn it on."  Well I checked the port, 
I only have one LPT port..  But as I write this, I may have figured it out.
OS/2 doesn't like IRQ sharing, If I remenber correct, and my Sound Blaster
MAY be on IRQ7 as well, If this si correct, WILL OS/2 give me those errors?
If They Don't share IRQ's what else MIGHT be wrong??  TIA (again:)
