I have a HP LaserJet II printer hooked up via serial port to my Compaq
286e. When I print through Windows 3.0, it works perfectly without
problems, but when I try to print to DOS, it acts like the printer
isn't even there. Does anyone knwo what I am doing wrong? I understand
Windows 3.0 automatically initializing something (that's why it works)
and DOS doesn't. What is this "something" that Windows 3.0 does to
make the HP LaserJet II work? Thanks for any info!
