Printing from DOS mode repeats

[Guest]

Hello, another DOS mode printing question. The same application, Real World
prints out a set of orders for the day onto a dot-matrix printer. 15 orders
were being printed, 1 per page, and after 10 or 12 it started printing from
the start again, and never would finish printing all the orders. This worked
fine on their old system, which was Novell 3.12/Windows 95, but the new
system, Windows Server 2003/Windows XP does this strange behavior. Any ideas
for a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Tommy Vielkanowitz,

15 orders
were being printed, 1 per page, and after 10 or 12 it started printing
from
the start again, and never would finish printing all the orders.

did you follow Alan Morris's suggestion about the LPT_Timeout registry value
?
Maybe you did set it to a too low value ?

Kind regards,
Davide Guolo
