Hello,
and thank you for so quickly answer.

Is there any chance to get a fix for the problem?
Anybody knows a Softwareproduct to fix the problem?

PS:
At moment I work with SLOWDOWN.EXE to slowdown the DOS-Windows speed. Also I worked with TPPATCH and patched the exe-files. Most works. But some of them doesn't.

Greetings

uhm well there exists a patch for dosbox which adds printing support.
However it doesn't work against the current source.
You need an older version of the dosbox source, apply the patch and compile dosbox.
It should do marvels.

Well, there is way: Virtual printer
Print as an image or run through an OCR program to print normally.

As far as I remember there is a binary provided in the printer port thread.
