I ran into this problem a while back with a PS/2 
Model 55SX. It wouldn't print from run-time Win286,
Win386 2.11 or Windows 3. The fix was to set up to 
print to the dummy port LPT1.OS2, or define another
port in Win.ini called LPT1.(anythreeletters) and
print to it.

The fix came after spending 30 minutes on hold 
calling MS Tech Support.

Wish there was a way to slow down pasting in 
WinQVT/NET.
