Wengier,


Thanks!  I do indeed use the 2016.06.01 branch, and the new syntax corrected the issue.

Hi John,

This config file option also runs perfectly under the latest vDos-lfn build of the 2015.11.01 branch. You will only see the said error message if you are using the 2016.06.01 branch of vDos-lfn. But this is normal too, because the 2016.06.01 branch of vDos-lfn uses its own printing processor rather than using DOSPrinter, so there is a major change in syntax in printing-related options in this new branch of vDos-lfn. So for the 2016.06.01 branch of vDos-lfn, you should replace the command:

LPT1 = @pclprint.cmd #LPT1.ASC

With:

LPT1 = "pclprint.cmd" HIDE #LPT1.ASC

Hope this helps.

Wengier

Wengier,


I don't know when this began -- possibly before the current version of vdos-lfn -- but the line


LPT1 = @pclprint.cmd #LPT1.ASC


in the config.txt file produces an error message:  "Unresolved item" @pclprint.cmd.


I don't have earlier versions of vdos-lfn to test, but this command does run without issue under vdosxy3.


Ideas?  Thanks.
