Friends,

Does anyone on the list know how to get into the setup on a Dell Optiplex GXMT
5200? I have one here I need to try some changes on the onboard LPT1 port to
enable some antique code to talk to a printer on the network. This is DOS code
that has to have LPT1 "connected". We are using Win95 on the machine, and have
used the net use lpt1: command, but this software comes back with a printer out
of paper error.

We can copy a file to the port from a dos window with no problems. It works
fine. But I have not been able to figure out the keystrokes to get into its
setup. Any assistance would be appreciated.
