Bob,
The LPT1 redirection program that you're running on the Amiga side should
be all that's necessary, and it sounds like you're getting that running
ok. You don't need the MS-DOS printer.sys driver. (I double-checked my
config.sys file. I don't have anything out of the ordinary there, and the
printer redirection works fine for me.)
The thing that bothers me is that you're redirecting your printer to PAR:.
Try doing a "dir >PRT:" command. If that doesn't print, check into what
printer driver that you've selected for use. (You need to have at least
the "Generic" printer driver selected.) I'd be looking into the AmigaDOS
side at this point, because I suspect that your problem is there.
Hope this helps, 8)
David
