Re: Printing to LPT3 in XyWrite III+

[Sarah Brehm sbrehm@xxxxxxxx]

Thanks for the response. I tried it and it didn't work. The manual
says that LPT3 is not a valid device for the TYPEF command. Did you do
something special to make it work? LPT1 and LPT2 are already in use on
my system.

Is there perhaps a way to make LPT3 the default port--in the startup
file?

To complicate matters, I am printing batches of files using the TYPE
@FILE command, so it isn't practical for me to print to a file and then
print the file from DOS.
