To test communication between your printer and your PC, first create a short file that
ejects a page from the printer. Then send the file to the printer.
"
To create the test file, type the following commands at the DOS prompt:
copy con printest.ps
↵
showpage
↵
^D^Z
↵
(All commands above except the DOS copy command are case sensitive and must
be typed exactly as shown.) Showpage is a PostScript command that prints a blank
page. The
↵
symbol means to press the Enter key. To produce the ^D and ^Z, press
and hold down the Ctrl key while you type the appropriate letters (d and z). These
characters signify the end of the file and must always be included.

To send the PRINTEST.PS file (you just created) to the printer, type
copy /b printest.ps lpt#
↵
where # is the port number (1 to 3).

Note: If the computer has more than one parallel port, they're probably labeled. If
not, check the computer documentation for the LPT port names.

If the printer and PC are communicating, a blank page ejects from the
printer.
If a blank page doesn’t eject and you typed the file correctly, you may want to
check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if LPT1 (the parallel port) is being directed
to COM1 (the serial port):
a
If the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the line
MODE LPT1:=COM1:
delete it.
