Hi Sheridan,

Well, I went thru all the steps on both my desktop (Warp 4, FP 15) and my
laptop (Warp 4, FP 14). It prints fine connected directly to the computer
using lpt1. It also prints fine connected to the SMC router when using
Windows. It is just under OS/2 that the port isn't functioning and I get
the Printer not responding ... message.

Is there perhaps something in the Lan TCP/IP configuration settings that
may need to be tweaked?

Thanks,
Sandy
