can you print from dos? Might be a configuration or driver problem

Here is something you may want to try.
Look for a File named MSDOS.SYS on the root of your bootdrive it is a hidden file so you have to enable show hidden files in explorer. Change the properties of this file by removing the readonly checkmark. Then edit the file in notepad, look for a line that reads BootGUI=1 , change this to BootGUI=0 then save the file. Now change all attributes back to the way they where before. The result will be when you reboot the computer it will stop at the >C:\ prompt without loading Windows. This allows you to run your programs in a true dos environment. when your done just enter win to load windows as usual. Good Luck. --- In CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO@y..., "j.guenther" <j.guenther@v...> wrote: can you print from dos?

This brings me to the boot menu where I can choose safe mode, dos prompt only, etc. I bypass all windows drivers here and still no parallel port. The dos sofware runs normally, but no pulses at the port. Very strange. The help line guy at Toshiba suggested I do a google search : )so no help there. --- In CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO@y..., "torsten98001" <torsten@g...> wrote:

Thanks for the phone#. I have more info now. I just tried a
Parallel-port diagnostic and information utility from Parallel Technologies and in windows, it found a port at 378H. Unloaded windows and ran the utility again and it found no port installed. Is there such a thing as a dos parallel port driver or something?

string. This will give you the closest to Dos and then you should see the printer output. My systen with Desknc works fine. If you want to run under windows, make sure your Pninter setup is set to Capture DOS on the LPT1 (probably) port. If your still having trouble, please call at 214-375-9848 and I'll see if we can talk you through this. ----- Original Message -----
