Printing from a DOS program to a Windows printer
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? -- Jerry Bank Trenton, New Jersey Music is the language of the gods. |

Printing from a DOS program to a Windows printer
Perhaps your accounting program has been changed to print to LPT2.

Printing from a DOS program to a Windows printer
Dear Mr.Bank,
I did the redirection and copied a file and it just printed. Do you have a suggestion for another program that might help. Preferably a free one. you may want to have a look at Printfil. It's not free, but you can download a free trial version at http://www.printfil.com Kind regards, Davide Guolo aSwIt s.r.l. -------------------------------------------------------------- Printfil - Windows Printing System for Applications http://www.printfil.com Odbc4All - Connection to ODBC Data Sources for any Application http://www.aswit.com/odbc4all @Kill - Batch Close Windows Applications - Freeware http://www.aswit.com/akill -------------------------------------------------------------- |
