Printing from DOS dosen't work after changing printer

[Jorgen]

Hi,
My OKI 10/ex crashed recently and I switched to an Epson Stylus Color 740.
Now I can´t get any printouts from my DOS-application. It worked fine with
the OKI. The printer is connected to LPT1. Printing from Windows works fine.
Whats the problem?
Thanks for any help.

Jorgen

hi jorgen

well the issues seems starnge cause the dos applications are supposed to work with LPt1
have you check the queue if the job is going to the printer queue as such if not then the default printer might not be selected and if its is so then try using dir >lpt1 from the dos prompt.
