DOS printing of a DbaseIII program
I have a self-made routien written in Dbase III (DOS). It prints its output
to the LPT1 port. I have recently purchased a HP 6310 DeskJet that connects to the PC via an USB cable. Does anyone know how to re-route the LPT1 port to the USSB port assigned to the deskjet printer? Please respond to the email address below. Thanks in advance. --

DOS printing of a DbaseIII program
Dear rainpruf,
I have a self-made routien written in Dbase III (DOS). It prints its output to the LPT1 port. I have recently purchased a HP 6310 DeskJet that connects to the PC via an USB cable. Does anyone know how to re-route the LPT1 port to the USSB port assigned to the deskjet printer? you may want to have a look at Printfil, which can automatically capture the LPT1 output and forward it to any Windows printer. Even without capturing the LPT1 port, you can: SET DEVICE TO PRINT SET CONSOLE OFF SET PRINTER ON SET PRINTER TO ("C:\My_Dir\My_File.txt") .... @ x,y say ... .... SET PRINTER OFF SET CONSOLE ON SET DEVICE TO SCREEN SET PRINTER TO Then you only have to set the "File to Check" field in the Printfil's configuration dialog as c:\my_dir\my_file.txt to have your Dbase jobs automatically captured and forwarded by Printfil to any Windows printer, including the USB, virtual printers (PDF Writers, FaxModems ... ) etc. Kind regards, -- Davide Guolo aSwIt s.r.l. -------------------------------------------------------------- Printfil - Windows Printing System for Applications http://www.printfil.com Odbc4All - Connection to ODBC Data Sources for any Application http://www.aswit.com/odbc4all --------------------------------------------------------------

I did not try your tech support. When I did try your process and it proved
to be most difficult, I found an easier application on the web and downloaded it. The applications works fine and was very easy to load. It solves all my problem with the DBase DOS printing. I took the easy way out. Thank you for your interest and assistance. -- "Davide Guolo" wrote: Dear Mr. Brauer, Your information was helpful.
