  LL> Does anyone know what the correct line is, to setup a IBM 
ProPrinter in the config.sys in OS/2 1.2.
 
  I don't think you need a line in the config.sys.  The use of the 
Control Panel and Print Manager should handle all of it. 
 
  LL> I have setup according to manual, but it seems to lock up every 
time I print. There are some files created in \SPOOL.
 
  Even though, OS/2 1.2 was suppose to work with many printers,  Many of 
the drivers where a bit broken.  They would fail with the concurent use 
of the print spooler.  The same results, you are seeing.  The temperary 
solution is to turn off the spooler.  The CSD, (we are all waiting for), 
is suppose to include corrected print drivers.
 
  Case in point is the Epson driver.  Many have gotten the coorected one 
though other sources, and it works fine with the spooler.  Now I can't 
say that the ProPrinter driver, does not work with the spooler.  But you 
might check with IBM, or the IBM NSC, to see what they say.
