Default Printing from a DOS program to a Windows printer

Perhaps your accounting program has been changed to print to LPT2.

What happens if you use some other DOS application to print to LPT1, or if
you just copy a text file to LPT1?

I have been using prn2file to print from my old DOS bookkeepping program
to a file so I could then print it out on my laser printer. I recently
upgraded my computer, but retained Win98.

Now prn2file no longer works. When I invoke it I get
PRN2FILE 1.0 (c) 1987 Ziff Communications Co.
LPT1 Redirected to: f:\wpdocs\ngl\ngl.txt


However, the printer is not redirected.

Any suggestions?
