Hallo,
i´m new in using Dosbox to run a old application works only with up to 800MHz processor.
Works fine so far, printing ist the problem.
I use a new Dell Vosto 220 PC (old one broke) without internal lpt1 port, so added a parallel port pci card.
Works more or less, but not with the HP LaserJet 1160.
Also not when I configure the "printer" output, then I get unsupported code messages in DosBox and printout is not readable.
Now I´m thinking of a solution to print in a file, best .PDF, and then print out of windows application.
The application supports output to lpt1-3 and .prn (don´t know where it goes to). While printing the application looks up if the port ist physically there and online.
I read something about output in graphic files but found no documentation.
If someone knows a solution to catch the lpt1 print and forward it to a file format then you can make me happy.
