I am unable to print to a HP Paintjet or an HP7550 plotter from
Windows 3 applications.  I CAN print to these printers from DOS.

When attempting to print to the Paintjet from a Win app, Windows
acts like everything is just fine, no error messages or anything,
but it seems like nothing is even getting to the spooler.

These printers are set up as LPT3 on our lan.  A coworker had the 
exact same problem when he tried accessing the Paintjet today.  
(He uses just Win 3, I use NewWave).

Again the printer works fine when accessed form a DOS app.  I can
print fine on a local printer and a lan LaserJet 2000 from windows
applications.     

Anyone know what the problem is?
