Thank you, thank you, thank you! It seems to work normally now! Next is the "real world" situation! I will keep everyone posted on it! Attached is the printout I got after those suggestions. Please compare!

I actually installed dosbox on 2 different computers (one XP, the other 98SE) and got exactly the same results. Using the standard DOS "dir > lpt1" gets me a printout, in black :-) ink, in Courier font from the printer, but nothing from dosbox unless all fonts are both in the root dosbox folder AND …

I had requested some help, and what was replied to me was a useless wisecrack. I am frustrated with a situation that is not working, and do not need more aggravation. As you will see from his comment posted 2 down from yours, WD goes back to suggesting useful tips. I will comment on the results …

indeed, a very smart answer! just what i needed to hear! can YOU tell me how to change the colour settings? if not, please stop the wisecracks.

Ykhwong, I am having a problem printing: the fonts, all of which are both in the dll and root folders of dosbox, do not work at all. What I get is some other font, which is way too ugly and is uneven. I also noticed that if I remove any of the fonts it will not print at all. Any suggestions? …

I tried renaming and even deleting the fonts leaving only the "renamed" courier.ttf, or another one. it seems to me that it works only when all fonts are both in the dosbox directory and in the dll directory (if any of them were missing, it would not print or it printed a blank page). attached is a …

H-a-l, thanks for your patient support. Please help me with 2 issues: 1- I do not understand these "esc-p" commands: within the dosbox all I get is, after pressing esc, a "\" bar and if afterward I add p (which will only show a "p" on a new line without a prompt) and press enter, i get a message " …

Ok, I found the fonts and it worked on a XP system. I will test next on a 98SE machine. Now, how do I change the default fonts used by the printer?

Fair enough, I will try using that build. My one question that remains is where do I find the fonts??? By the way, ykhwong, as far as communicating goes, your English is fine.

And yet, the only CVS I can get with some type of printer support is the one from ykhwong, but not from the one from Fizzban. Unfortunately, Fizzvban's CVS is nowhere on the list, so I must resort to asking him to send me the CVS and the fonts. Am I being unreasonable to ask for a private e-mail …

Because the patch, as posted on sourceforge, has showed a compiling problem to at least one person. In any case, I myself am not a developer and wouldn't know how to compile that patch into the program. Additionally, all references to patches or fonts posted "here" or "there" point back to the same …

Hello, Fizzban! Could you email me the version with the printing support, the fonts and syntax for configuration? I need it desperately! asitnik - a-t - yahoo d.o.t c-o-m! While I am at it, let me sing the praises of this program! It has laready solved 95% of a very difficult problem for me! Tanks …
