This problem may be overcome by telling Win95 _not_ to spool a DOS
print job but to send it directly to LPT. The default setting is
spooling (which is safer, of course).
My Computer
Printers
click alt-rightbutton on the icon for the current
printer
Details
push lower left button
i.e. the button besides the button named probably "spooling".
The first field of this box is usually checked (spooling). You
may
uncheck it.

Hello there,
I've been writing a program recently (in Tp7) which needs to run
under
the MS-DOS shell in Windows 95. Which it does.
Until... you try to print.
I've tried using many different printer units and this problem still
remains:
If the printer is offline or inaccessible, then Windows 95 still
keeps
trying to print. It brings up a requester and if you click "Cancel"
it
crashes the pascal program.
Does anyone have a printer unit which can get around this problem?
I
have looked in the SWAG archive and none of them have helped.
I'd appreciate any help you could give,
Thanks,
Karl
