To work around this behavior, follow these steps:

1.	On the desktop, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers on the menu that appears.
2.	Using the right mouse button, click the Printer icon, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
3.	In the Printer Properties dialog box, click the Details tab, and then click Port Settings.
4.	Make sure the "Spool MS-DOS print jobs" box is not checked, and then click OK.
