quit.
New computer with Win XP and SP2. SP2 installed for more
than 1 week.
Printer is dot matrix.
Command prompt using either print or type file name>lpt1
returns to c: prompt without printing.
Windows program "Edit" also will not print. Test page from
printer setup or web page will print.
With Printer spooler box open, no job appears
when "printing" from DOS app. but does appear when
printing from Windows app.
