IIRC the problem was the print spooler didn’t got started on boot and a command to tell OPR it had the default form mounted was required to start printing. Defining LPFORMS.INI avoided that problem and the print spooler started automatically. Does it make sense to you? Blurred memories also tell me there was some alignement test involved. After telling OPR the printer had the form mounted it asked to confirm the form was correctly aligned. Doh, memory…
