    Print from DOS LPT1 to a file

    I have an old DOS database that sends print jobs to LPT1: but the jobs are very wide and don't fit on my present printer. Is there a way of sending the print job from LPT1: to a file. Its not printing any graphics, just text. All help very appreciated!!!

    You need an old favorite, PC-Magazine utility named PRN2FILE.COM. You can download the 9,867 byte ZIP file (which also includes a DOC and ASM file) from here: ftp://ftp.duth.gr/pub1/simtel/disk2/...R/PRN2FILE.ZIP
