SUMMARY

To use the MS-DOS print spooler (the PRINT command) with Microsoft Mail (MS- DOS client), you must load the resident portion of the PRINT program before you run the Notifier.

MORE INFORMATION

The PRINT command is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program that may affect the proper operation of the Notifier if it is loaded on top of the Notifier in memory. To load the resident portion of the PRINT command, type print at the MS- DOS prompt. MS-DOS will display the following prompt:

Name of list device [PRN]:


If you receive the message "Bad command or file name," change to the directory that contains the MS-DOS utilities, then retype print. Type in the communications port to which your printing device is attached (for example, LPT1:, LPT2:, COM1:) and press ENTER. MS-DOS will display the following prompt:

Resident part of PRINT installed
Print queue is empty

You should now able to load the Notifier, run Mail, and, when necessary, use the PRINT command from the MS-DOS prompt.
