Post by fidikPost by the WizPost by fidikFound an old programme from Proprinter days, installed GWBASIC from DOS4,
programme is really useful to me, the only problem is that when it encounters
LPRINT statement it comes back with "Device fault".
Any help on how to solve this would be appreciated.
Do you have a "standard" printer attached to the parallel port? If the printer
is on a USB port or possibly if the printer is a "Windows only" printer then you
will likely get a "device fault" because the device doesn't respond as expected.
It is on USB port. Is there anything that I can do?
You might try changing the printer setup in Windows to add "Print from DOS". If
that doesn't work, your could change the program to send its output to a file
(every LPRINT statement will have to be changed to a PRINT #x, where x is the
number of the output file), then print that file from Windows using Notepad or
Wordpad.
If the program uses any printer control codes (for things like graphics
characters or bold or compressed print), then you will also have to remove those
codes as the current printer probably won't understand them.
