Matt, you'll need to open the Printer setup in Control Panel under Win-OS/2 and
attach your default printer to port LPT1.OS2 (scroll down past LPT3). Also when
printing from Windows apps make sure you're printing to your default printer on
LPT1.OS2.

Note that the port LPT1.OS2 corresponds to LPT1, LPT2.OS2 corresponds to LPT2 
etc.

This assumes that you wish to print from your Windows apps through OS/2's 
print spooler (I prefer to print this way because background printing seems to 
work better due to the fact that OS/2 is multithreaded and starts a separate 
thread for printing).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Rod.
