Delayed printing in DOS

[Dean]

I have an old DOS based database that prints only to LPTX
ports. When I was using WIN98, I had a problem with the
printing being delayed by nearly a minute and I found a
solution to this problem -- see MS KBA#140036. Now that I
have upgraded to a computer with XP, I have the same
problem, but the old fix does not seem to work. Can
anyone help? Thanks.

Dean,

I have an old DOS based database that prints only to LPTX
ports.

This happens because your DOS software is not closing the LPT port at the
end of the print job. The best solution should be to fix it, if you can.

If you cannot, look at the Edward's post on November the 7th, (or go to
