First, I want to thank you guys SOOOO MUCH. You have enabled me to move up to a new computer and still operate the Cookbook program I got for my wife when I bought my first computer over 20 years ago.

The cookbook program is DOS based, and wifey won't let me upgrade her to a more modern program. My new computer uses the new Intel I5 chip, and is running Windows 7, so I was very pleased when I was introduced to DOSBox, because there was no hope in running the cookbook out of Win7.

It does run perfectly in the DOSBox.

My current problem is that I am totally unable to print. My printer is hooked up USB, and even though I see that there is no printer support -- yet -- I was wondering if someone had a printer add-on that works. Otherwise, I am relegated to handwriting down every recipe that wifey wants to use.

Your help is appreciated.

A search for "printing" suggests you should try HAL 9000's special DOSBox build:
DOSBox SVN Builds

But really, if all else fails you can just take screenshots and paste them into MS Word. No handwriting necessary.

Screenprint!!!!! See, I told you that I am still a newbie, no matter how much I learn. Really, it's more of the CRS disease than anything else.

Thanks for the stopgap. I'll try HAL's build and see how it goes.
