Hello, I realise that DOSBOX is designed for DOS games rather than DOS Software. However, it runs the software I need brilliantly apart from one little problem - printing.

I'm currently using the Megabuild #3 of h-a-l-9000's build, with the porttalk driver. The software is a till system, and when I print a receipt normally, it works fine, the receipt is printed on LPT1. However, when I try to do a reprint receipt, or register report (cash up), the text is listed on the screen very quickly, and then returns to the previous screen. This didn't happen when the old 80286 was natively running MS-DOS, nor does it happen when Microsoft Virtual PC runs MS-DOS. However, the networking part doesn't work well in Virtual PC, whereas it does in DOSBOX.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thomas
