Problem

Solutions: If a customer experiences problems printing in a DOS environment, they can use the DOS DEBUG program to verify that there are ports to print from. The process for checking for ports is as follows:
1.      At a DOS command prompt type DEBUG.
2.      Type d40:0 at the dash/hyphen (-) prompt. The first four LPT ports will display followed by the first four COM ports. This will appear in hex code. If the numbers 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 appear as the first string of text, the user has access to on LPT port at LPT1. If the top line reads 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 02 00 00 00, the user has access to an LPT1, COM1 and a redirected COM2 port.
3.      Type Q at the dash prompt to quit and not save changes.
