Talk:LPT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re origin of LPT, I believe that this terminology in DOS descended from DEC systems.

On the DECsystem-10, at least, LPT represented the line printer (along with CDR for card reader, CDP for card punch, DSK for disk, PTR for paper tape reader, PTP for paper tape punch, DTA for DECtape, etc.). Jim 04:41, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
