I am having trouble getting windows (2.03) to talk to my okidata microline 92
printer.  It has a "plug and play" installed (a new chip which makes it
look like a ibm graphics printer), and is located on lpt1:.
	When I try and print from write the spooler comes up and after a
few seconds says "Cannot write to LPT1:".  I tried many different drivers
includeing the strait ascii dump and all had this same result.  Nothing prints.
When I abort the spooler, the printhead moves a bit, like when you put it
back on line.
	No other software has had problems talking to the printer and if
from a program I do a write to the lpt1: device it works fine.

ANY CLUES??
