Hi, I am using old accounting software running in dos. I've installed the software succesfully. But when I tried to print it i print out just few characters (same result if I try print to file)

In console I get this:

PRINTER: Skipping unsupported command ESC ( 1 (231).
60085589: FILES:Special file open command 42 file c:\BOZIC11\PARTNER.BS
PRINTER: Skipping unsupported command ESC ( s (273).

Does anybody have the same problem or know the solution.

Thanks

use an emulator that isn't target at games.

What he said. DOSBox is not a complete implementation of DOS, just enough to get a lot of games to run. You need an emulator with more complete DOS support than DOSBox provides for non-game applications. Some apps might run, but since they aren't officially supported tech support is not generally provided for them.
