Which printer device are you using? LPT1 or LPT1.OS2?

Well, since you are doing this under WineCS, the DOS/Win31 rules apply to
a certain extent. If your fax software has grabbed to port, Quark is
simply not going to be able to print. It's going to be hard to tell for
sure what's happening. However, the fact that the printout kicks off whe
Quark exits says that your fax/scanner software is not the problem. More
likely, Quark is holding the file open. If could even be a Quark defect
which would never be noticed when running under Win3.1 You can use the
print timeout settings to overcome this sometimes.

This sounds like a Quark problem. You might try switching the print
destination from LPT1 to LPT1.OS2 or back and see if this changes
anything.

Could be something that the Quark software is doing to the printer port.
It's going to take more analysis to isolate is much beyond this. Warp has
to give DOS and Win apps much more access to the hardware than it gives
native Warp applications. I've seen more than one case where a DOS or Win
app can mess up an IO port to the extent that the only way to recover is a
reboot.
First thing you need to do is run without your fax/scanner software for a
while to see if that is the cause of the interference. You can probably
just disable the fax/scanner software in win.sys and system.ini and not
have to uninstall it.
