Par_use ser (no quotes) just worked for me - without an error message - on
the latest QPC2v202 with smsq 2b98.
Try removing the quotes.
I don't know if it will actually work, because I'm at work and have a
network printer :o)

Subject: [ql-users] PAR_USE
I need to use the PAR_USE command with an older program which only
prints from SER1
Ideally I would like to use something like PAR_USE 'SER' to make
output sent to ser1 appear on the parallel printer port.
However, if I try PAR_USE SER or PAR_USE PAR even in QPC2v2.02
(freshly downloaded) I can't get it to work, it says 'bad parameter'.
Anybody got any idea what I'm doing wrong? I seem to have (temporarily
I hope) mislaid my SMSQ/E manual.
