Interesting! I don't have this parameter in my config.sys. I stopped
using it, when Warp went from the IRQ to the polling method as the
default for parallel ports. I haven't had any problems without the IRQ
parameter. In fact, one of the things I like best about Warp is that my
stuff goes to the printer really fast. And while the printer is
outputting, I can continue using Warp. That contrasts markedly with
Windoze, where I have to wait for the printer to finish, or nearly
finish, before I can use the system again.

On the other hand, I have the following line for the LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3
buffer size:

PRINTMONBUFSIZE=2048,134,134
