Printing from a MSDOS application running under @in98
Here is a little thinker folks.
I have a networked PC that prints on 2 printers which are shared through the LAN and connected to another networked PC. Now there is this MSDOS application that prints on LPT1 and LPT2. Thats fine, I just assign LPT1 to the network path of the first shared printer and LPT2 to the net path of the 2nd shared printer. However there is this small problem. When i send a print out from the first PC to any of the shared printers it takes like 2-3 minutes to start printing. What i also noticed is that if i close the application, the printing will start immediately. Any ideas? -- Posted using the http://www.windowsforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.windowsforumz.com/Printin...ict549683.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Ryunzun,
However there is this small problem. When i send a print out from the first PC to any of the shared printers it takes like 2-3 minutes to start printing. What i also noticed is that if i close the application, the printing will start immediately. Any ideas? probably your Ms-Dos application is not closing the printer port at the end of the print job. If you are the original programmer you should have to fix it, otherwise you could try this: Go to SYSTEM.INI file in [386enh] section search [Network] if it does not exist enter the following : [Network] PrintBufTime=10 [IFSMGR] PrintBufTime=10 This should set the timeout to 10 seconds.
