SYMPTOMS

Redirecting the output of a wide directory list to a parallel port connected over a network using Windows for Workgroups 3.1 may not list the contents of the directory. For example, the following format results in listing only the directory header and footer

DIR /W > LPTx

where "x" ranges from 1 to 9.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.1.

Additional query words: 3.10 print command line
