A client has a receipt printing system plugged into his serial port in
Windows XP Professional. Whenever he shuts down or restarts his computer,
the receipt printer advances the paper and prints a couple of lines of
unintelligible text. This was not a problem on his old Windows 98 computer.
What can we do to prevent this from happening?
