There are a number of different reasons why you might run into a problem like  
this, and an error in CONFIG.SYS is probably the least likely.  Much more  
likely is an error in your Print Manager setup, though the default  
configuration (as installed) assumes an IBM Proprinter attached to LPT1.  You  
don't mention what hardware you are running - some older parallel ports don't  
provide the necessary interrupt lines for OS/2 to properly use the port.

Coincidentally, I attached a Proprinter to a 1.2 machine just yesterday.  The  
machine was an old AT, with a new Idea I/O board installed.  I made no changes  
whatsoever to the default installation of the Print Manager, and the printer  
worked with no problems.
