MS-DOS application sending screen output to LPT printer
- by gadget00
We have a MS-DOS application(coded in FoxPro), and recently had this glitch: the screen menu of the application without reason starts printing in an LPT Panasonic KX-1150 printer. It's a never ending print of all the screens of the application, as if the main output instead of sending it to the monitor, sends it to the printer! It creates a unnamed document with N/D pages and keeps printing forever. We have to turn the printer off and then kill the document in the spool to stop it...
The printer is installed with a Generic/Text driver, and has happened to us both in WindowsXP and Win7. What can this be?
Thanks in advance
