Hello! Is it possible to add printer support (maybe it's there already?) to dosbox, so companies using old dos programs can keep using them under Windows 2000 and XP?
It's probably possible, but none of the developers seem really motivated to do it. I'd rather spend more time on features for games.
Most DOS apps can be set to print to file.
Ideally, use a postscript driver.
You can then use PrintFile from http://www.lerup.com/printfile/ to print it, using Ghostscript if necessary. This can be setup to automatically print the files as they are generated.
If the app doesn't have a print-to-file setting, you can try an old DOS utility like prn2file which redirects print to a file (don't know if this will work in DOSbox).
Have a look at http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/ which explains how to use WordPerfect DOS under Windows and printng in particular.
There is also Autoprint, $40, from
