I'm running Windows/386 V2.11 on a Micronics 16MHz 386 with 6MB RAM and
a C.Itoh 715A printer (set up as a LQ1500).

I finally got standard apps running, but I have a problem printing with
Deluxe Paint II Enhanced.  The output is semi-garbled (it loses bytes here
and there, so the image is messed up but still recognizable).

I've tried setting the spooler on and off, and neither helps.

If I run DP from an exclusive command processor, but first run PRN2FILE to
capture the output inside the command shell, this creates a file XXX.PRN.
If I exit Windows and copy XXX.PRN to the printer, it prints just fine.  So
I suspect Windows is messing with the data path somehow.

Does anyone know how to fix this, so I can print correctly from inside 
Windows?
