>Theres old Fox for Dos app running on NT through the DOS prompt, I have a Star recipet printer on LPT1 thorough the Generic Text driver. I didn't right this app so I don't know how it prints, but when it prints a recipt it waits about 2 minutes. Or if I close down the app to the DOS prompt it prints on exit. Works fine on 95/98

Try the printer Property sheet; Scheduling tab, select Print directly to printer rather than Spool print documents. I assume that you have the winprint print processor selected with the RAW default datatype set, and the Always spool raw datatype checkbox not checked in the Print Processor page (General/Print Processor button.)

You might want to take a run out to www.ntfaq.com, there's detailed information on NT printer setup in their FAQ document.
