Redirecting Print Request
Hi. I have an old software program (written in FoxPro) that automatically
prints to a dotmatrix printer on the parrallel port. I still need this application and have moved it to a new computer that does not have a parrallel port installed. Now whenever I try to print. The program tells me that a printer is not installed. What kind of work around do I have? I've tried to "add printers" and configured them to use various ports (LPT, COM, PRINT TO FILE). But none of them seem to work. Any suggestions?
