the virtual printer does not support HPGL. If you want to pass this data on to a real printer, don't use the virtual printer but the file redirection or directlpt.

When the program creates hpgl code

If I'm not mistaken, there are plenty of Windows programs capable of viewing HPGL files (and printing them and converting them and so on). There is no need for DOSBox if that's the sort of file the program is creating.

Thanks for your first reactions. First of all i will try to do directlpt and see if this helps. Showing the hpgl data in a dos or win box is not what we need, we realy need to get the output from this old fashioned dosprogram to a printer output. The program can't run on xp or vista or win7 and it also crashed on modern cpu's. The dosbox project helps me to solve this issue. I am very happy with the suggestions since it opens a route to a solution shat solve all my issues, the dongle that is needed, the printing issues while there are not drivers vor win98 for the printer, the cpu crashes. So when i get the hpgl printing working i own you one guys.
up
keep the good work

What I mean is that you can use the program in DOSBox to generate a file containing HPGL code, and then use a Windows program to print the data. You're running DOSBox under Windows anyway.

I suspect it's even possible to configure Windows to watch a folder and (using the appropriate Windows program) automatically print the data from any new HPGL files that are created, if that's what you need.

Creative 😀... will look into this one ...
