Re: printing from java app

[Jeremy Smallman <jeremy.smallman%doxsystems.com@localhost>]

Thanks for the reply.  This java app has an "open" button to open the
communication line to the printer then another button to print text to
the printer (sorry, I should have explained this before).  When I click
open, the java app throws an exception "cannot open the commuications
port."  ktrace shows output up to the point of me clicking the open
button but upon clicking the button it outputs nothing.
