Configuring the LPT port in Vista to be able to print a DOS applic

[stearon]

I have a legacy application that I have been using for years. I bought a new
Brother 7820N printer and when I try to print using a parallel cable the
printer has a message saying DATA REMAINING but doesn't print until I send a
second item to the printer. Is there a way to configure the Parallel port.
Going to the BIOS doesn't allow you to configure the LPT port beyond enable.

You will need to change the LPT timeout value in the 16bit WOW application
layer
