I have two serial printers which I know are working but my PC will not
send any output to them in Dos or Windows.
I have connected the printers to com2 (which I normally use for my fax
modem) with mouse set to com1. 
The serial cables I have tried are also known to work. If I "print" a
file to com2 with the modem attached I can see the lights flash, so the
com port obviously works.
Any ideas guys (the word guys covers male and female gender)

TIA :-)
