You don't mention if you're running 6.1a DOS or Windows. If it's Windows, then OUTPUT LPT1 (LPT2, LPT3, etc.) is ignored. It will always go to the default printer unless you redirect with a PRNSETUP. If you're doing windows, do a PRNSETUP to pick the printer, then just do an OUTPUT PRINTER ; LIST ; OUTPUT SCREEN to see if you can get rbase to print anything to the printer.
If you're in DOS, then did they buy a new printer? If so, it's possible that the printer is a windows-only printer.
