Printing from a DOS ap just quit working. Windows aps print fine. I tried to
copy a text file to the printer from a command prompt, i.e., "copy
textfile.txt prn" Nothing happened, nothing spooled. I had the printer
folder open to see if anything qued.

Possibly some kind of DOS printing sub-system broke? Please advise. Thanks,
David
