I did not check this, but I believe I remember that printing on (serial)
IEC devices was a little bit picky, and I expect it to be picky for the
(parallel) IEEE devices, too.

Do you know this ticket:

https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/517/

There is a step by step for doing it on the IEC device. However, it did
not work, and I am almost sure that it is because the OP did not close
the output. That is, he is missing the

PRINT#1
CLOSE 1

sequence.

The PRINT#1 creates the UNLISTEN, which is a signal for VICE that the
data is complete. The CLOSE 1 might not be neccessary.


If it does not work, can you give a complete example on what you are
doing, and the exact steps to reproduce it?

Regards,
Spiro.
