I installed TCP/IP vers. 1.2.1 on my IBM Model 90 running
OS/2 2.0 with no problems (thanks to Dean Pentcheff's notes).
I added "RUN=C:\TCPIP\BIN\LPRMON.EXE -b lpt1" to my config.sys file
to enable remote printing through a unix host.  I setup the OS/2
Print Manager to print through lpt1: using an Apple NTX print
driver.  The Printer-specific format is selected in the PMPRINT
queue driver settings.

Everything works fine when printing from DOS applications (Quatro Pro 3.0) 
with a postscript print driver thru lpt1:.  However, when printing 
from Word-for-Windows, I get a text image of the postscript file.

I checked the 2.0 FAQ file as well as old postings for hints.  I
tried disabling the WinOs/2 print manager by removing !printman
from the MAVDMapps line in the windows sys.ini file.

Any help would be appreciated.
