I have setup DOSBOX, how can I add more dos command it DOSBOX? I want to add NET USE command to map network printer on DOSBOX. Please guide me any one.

I'm afraid that won't work. DOSBox does not natively support printing and it has no knowledge of external devices. There are builds with printing enabled, but those would still require mapping the printer in Windows.

Would it be possible to make DOSBox just print to an image format? Like a PCX, BMP, or TGA or something? Maybe even PNG. Similar to how a fax plugin a long time ago that I had would fax things to image files instead of actually faxing them.

Cool!

Also, I was incorrect earlier. I had a printer driver that would act as a fax machine and save the printed document as a BMP (I think it was) and dial a phone number via your modem and the recipient would receive it as a fax from their fax machine.
