- I have a strange situation that I haven't encountered before.
-
- I have a program which, apparently, tried to access LPT1: directly. OS/2
- intercepts this with the error that another application is using the printer
- and that I can either terminate my DOS session, or terminate the application
- which is using the printer.
-
- My problem is, nobody is using the printer.
-
- Can anyone offer some insights?
-
- BTW, I can use the printer in the VDM and in the DOS emulation modes, as well
- as from within Borland C, so I know that the printer is accessible from the
- DOS sessions.
-
-
- Thanks a bunch!
