Problem with printing on LPT and LPT3

[zkrstic]

Hi!

I was experimenting from time to time with VDOS, and from my PC it was working as charm.

But as soon as I install it on the PC I would like it to work, I run into trouble.

Printing section of config.txt is as:

LPT1=sel:"OKI-ES7131-36916F" RAW

LPT2=sel:"KONICA MINOLTA C224E PCL Tray 1" RAW

LPT3=sel:"KONICA MINOLTA C224E TRAY2" RAW

I can print to LPT1, no problem.

But with LPT2 or LPT3 I get message "Could not inizialize printer" and printer name.

I can print from notepad to this printers and there are #LPT2.txt and #LPT2.asc files in VDOS folder.

What am I doing wrong?

My guess: The printer(driver) names are somehow off.

Check those, eventually add LPT2=RAW and LPT3=RAW to verify printing works if selected by hand.

LPT2 and LPT3 = RAW opens windows printing box and wants to print on default printer, which is normal.

I am going to check what the hell is happening, because the same config.txt is working on other PC.
