Something really wierd is going on with my PRT: device. I usually
boot up, and use the ^D sequence to avoid loading in workbench.
Recently, I tried copying a file to PRT:, and it told me the device
was busy. This really puzzled me since I had JUST turned the computer
on, and NOTHING was running. COPY filename PRT: is what caused
the error. I have tried it several times since, and it still doesn't
work. However, COPY filename PAR: does seem to work. Is it impossible
to use PRT: from CLI? I am confused.

| 1852.1 | missing driver? | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Thu Nov 03 1988 16:49 | 4 |
I think this can happen if the printer driver specified by your
PREFERENCES can't be found. Check preferences and then check the
directory that holds the PRT: drivers to be sure it's there.

Perhaps you are hitting CTRL-D before the printer driver is loaded. | |||||

Re .1
Well, as you suspected, this WAS the case. For some reason, my
preferenes had reset the printer selection to Custom, which I do
not have. I changed it to epson, and all worked well. Thank you
for the help.
Re .2
Actually, the printer driver isn't loaded until an application requires
it. IE, when I try to send something to prt:, the driver is loaded.
