I tried printing from DOS awhile back and printer just spit out a blank page.
The command I used was
Dir > lpt1
Did I get the command wrong, or do I have a driver problem in DOS?
Thanks

It will only output to the LPT port if you phisically have a printer connected to it or you have your current printer set to capture the LPT port And your printer has to be capable of working in DOS Many printers are Windows only, and under DOS there is just no driver available.
