Yeah either way it displays all the print job on the screen and disappears

ok trying to fix my own problem here but failing miserably. the output seems to go all to the screen and then disappear. I found a trick on another site that say type dir >lpt1 at a command prompt that works. I actually get an output from that. so it seems that dosbox is recognizing the fact that …

i am noticing it outputs on the screen and disappears. please help. i will send pizza and beer

And that back door is closed in CVS. You can still try some Dosbox build with printer patch i.e. ykhwong's. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=9306 is the last one i tried i did the disney=false and used his latest build but alsa no windows dialogue and i tried the png out put and did not see …

ok this one works (meaning doesn't crash the dosbox) except for the part i do not get the printer output no windows print dialogue. I am lost. I read this whole post more than a few times and am confused at this point

yes i know that. the problem with using winxp dos is that the app doesn't share without crashing. dosbox i can at least share. i am trying the virtual printer one now

:sealed: ok i know this forum is for games. I however have an application problem. I have tried dosbox and it works up until a point for me. I need to print to a usb printer which can be solved by using dos2usb my problem is when i network the app which is supposed to work in pure dos it crashes on …

i figured that but i believe dos2usb is supposed to make the pc think it has a lpt port but alsa as i type this i see that is a virtual port in windows and dosbox with your patch is looking for the direct access without windows

ok i am back to the original error maybe it has something to do with i need dos2usb to print as well

not enough video memory

mmmmh now i am getting a different error without doing anything new cannot open porttalk driver failed to create hardware surface

no it is windows xp pro sp2

it gives me a windows pop up error saying that the application needs to close. It only happens when trying to print. I am assuming it has something to do with the other app installed to give direct port access. It doesn't give any other errors except that app dosbox and module dosbox

Is there a specific version of dosbox this works for

this keeps crashing my dosbox
