I have the same setup generally (mouse on com2: printer on com1: and
modem on com3:), but I can't print to com1: if my modem is on-line
through WinQVT.  (I have an AT-class machine.)

Am I alone in this?  It's frustrating if I want to print something as
I've got to log out, shut down WinQVT and then send my print job (via
the spooler)  What I find is easier is to print to a PostScript file
then use a DOS session to copy the file to com1:
