An additional note. Assuming I can get the correct commands to work, my DOS
application that I'm using specifically wants to print to lpt1 or ltp2
(apparently hard coded in the software). When I look at Printfil, it doesn't
exactly say it will emulate lpt1 or 2. I did download the program, with no
real success.
I'm not a programmer, just a user and it's extemely disappointing that it
has taken almost a month to solve this problem. And just as disappointing,
Microsoft didn't think about us little guys when they upgraded their
operating systems. I can remember when you bought a computer or an upgrade
it would come with a manual. Difficult at times to totally understand but at
least it was something. Now when you buy a PC or an upgrade you don't get
anything to help you.
Sorry, but I had to vent a little.
