After wiping down the keyboard while a DOSBox application was running, I now get a message "Printer type specifications file not found" when launching the application. I'm unable to identify where this error message is coming from. Is it from DOSBox and if so, where can I find the file?

DOSBox does not generally have printer support, so it is probably coming from somewhere else.

Can you be more precise about what you mean by "a DOSBox application"?

The DOSBox application is a set of programs I've written and support. They maintain a master database and prints various reports, billing invoices, etc. The programs run just fine by themselves up through Windows XP but needed something like DOABox to run on Windows 7. I'll look closer in the application for the problem. Thanks.
