Hi folks!

I've got SoftPC up and running (finally) on my Mac II, and I'd
like to have it printing to my DeskWriter (HP).  The manual says
something about "Oh, just have it try to print to the (emulated)
parallel port" ... which may or may not work for applications,
but when I try to print a text file to "lpt1", there is a little
bit of a reaction from the DeskWriter (it sits there and clicks
faintly every second or two), but no printing.  The User's guide
doesn't really explain this very well.  I'm running SoftPC version
1.3.

Thanks in advance,

Brad
