| 104.1 | More details, and a QAR, please | JOBIM::VUJNOVIC | I�t�r��t���l�z�t��L���l�z�t�� | Wed Jan 29 1997 17:45 | 11 |
| Give us more details, PowerTerm version, OS, etc. I've just done it
on NT/Intel and I got the Windows Printer Setup dialog. It's the
same one that you get in, say, WRITE, from the File\Print... option.
Did you play with Terminal\Setup\Printer? Does print screen work?
Please QAR this; there were at least 2 QARs regarding printing that
were successfully closed.

| 104.2 | PTW*.CFG files? | SUTRA::MOXLEY | Shiny Shoes, Shiny Mind | Thu Jan 30 1997 04:48 | 11 |

Re: Printing QARS.
Yes, as someone who raised one of these I can make some pertinent
comments.
I used 95, and had similar symptoms - it couldn't find the default
printer, and failed to bring up the printer dialog box. That was until
we discovered some PTW*.CFG files lurking in C:\WINDOWS, or, on NT in
C:\WINNT. Once these were deleted - magically the printer poperties
page appeared.

| PowerTerm 4.00.32
Windows NT 4.0
connected via telnet
File|Print Setup menu choice does one of two things for me,
neither very useful:
- hangs PowerTerm for aproximately 10 seconds and then does nothing
- does nothing
By "does nothing" I mean that no dialog box is displayed, that I am
returned immediately to the terminal window. No pointer change, no
sounds, nothing.
Under Terminal Setup's Printer tab I have tried with both File (the
default) and Print Manager selected, no change. Currnet settings
are:
Print Device x Use Form Feed
Print Manager Print Line Graphics as Text
Device
(section disabled) Print Screen Data Conversion: Graphics
Slave Printer Data Conversion: None
Slave Printer Job Delimiter: None
Based on note 104.2, I looked in D:\WINNT and found the following
files:
ptw.cfg
ptw_prt1.cfg
ptw_prt2.cfg
Removing these files did indeed allow the Print Setup dialog box
to appear.

| The odd thing is that I have the same setup as 104.3, and those same
three files are in my C:\WINNT35 directory, but I don't have the
problem -- selecting File|Print Setup pops up the Print Setup screen,
just like it's supposed to.
It doesn't make any difference if the printer is local or network, BTW.

| >> C:\WINNT35 directory,
This *was* a typo, right?
I had this problem too, hence my suggestion to remove the files. I had
the problem on 95, and not on NT. But I suspect it may be due to having
upgraded/re-installed the software, and having changed printer
assignments along the way, perhaps?

| 104.6 | Your PTW_PRT*.CFG were left-overs, I think | JOBIM::VUJNOVIC | I�t�r��t���l�z�t��L���l�z�t�� | Thu Jan 30 1997 11:52 | 4 |
| A lot depends on the FT stuff you have lying around on your system.
Ericom belive that first-time users will not have the problem.

>This *was* a typo, right?
No, just a system that was upgraded from 3.51 to 4.0, and the default
system root directory for NT 3.5 and 3.51 was WINNT35. I thought about
changing the name, but it's not like it's hurting anything...
