DOS Printing Problems

by mrs_doctor_jones . Updated 20 years, 4 months ago

I print from a DOS program that gives the user a choice of printers to print to. In the batch file that tells it what printer to go to que_1 goes to lpt1, que_2 to lpt2, and so on.

The problem I am having is that on a new machine I set up, no matter which “que” you choose from the program, the system dumps everything to whatever lpt que_1 is set for.

The same batch file works fine on all other computers. The program set up is exactly the same. I’ve double checked the printer captures in windows.

I realize this is a stretch but I’m at the end of my rope.

Any suggestions?
