LPT1 Mode Command Error
My HP 5500 is hooked to lpt1. Here's the error message:
Printers Folder, "There was an error found when printing the document "c:\millerlr\dwg\colors.dwg Model (1)" to LPT1:. Do you want to retry or cancel the job?" Under Win2k Pro I then began the printer troubleshooting wizard. It suggests the Mode command as follows: mode lpt1:,,p However, that returns the following error: Invalid parameter - lpt1:,,p What to do?

Is it a 32-bit Win program, or maybe a dos program running in Windows? If a dos program, there's a utility called Dosprint that interfaces dos programs with Windows - but you have to code it in.
