printer test progs:
------------------

SETPRN.EXE is a small DOS program to set the printer configuration.

SETPRN.EXE should be put in your Autoexec.bat file if you are having problems
with the port test failing with your printer, or other parallel port device.
This will override the RiscosPrinter setting in the config file.

SETPRN
======

Syntax is SETPRN [RISCOS] [ONCARD]

Where the first parameter specifies which socket is LPT1, and the second
parameter specifies which socket is LPT2.

  SETPRN

with no parameters displays the current settings.

Including the RISCOS/ONCARD parameters initialises the specified ports, in the given order. 

e.g.

  SETPRN RISCOS ONCARD

sets LPT1 as the RISCOS printer and LPT2 as the on-card parallel
port.

  SETPRN RISCOS 

sets LPT1 to be the RISCOS port.

Background:
-----------
There is currently a known problem with some printers which causes the PC
Card's printer port to fail its self-test if the printer is plugged in when
!PC is started. This causes the port to be disabled. You can put SETPRN
(with appropriate options) in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to reset the port(s).
This will counter the problem.
