simplemod - old school help
think back, way back..
I need a way to print if possible or to at least view a printout that would normally go through dos to one of those old cranky parallel port printers. I don't have one, and don't see getting one anytime soon. I do have numerous USB printers on a network or directly connected. I am using D-Fend Reloaded to run this program I need to print from.
I am in no way a savvy dos user, I can usually stagger and stumble around till I get where I want to be.
As far as writing commands, yeah right, not me.
any ideas would be great, just type slow so I can keep up. LOL.
you can capture LPT1 to one of your local or network printers. Then the DOS output will go to printer. You can also have LPT1 set to a file. I will have to look at that one for best option.
The properties of the printer is where you can change what port it uses. PM me if you need help. I can take a look at it for you. Done in past many times but not with your dos emulator. Wont make a defference.. .or shouldn't.
