    Capturing DOS printer data

    I have an ancient DOS system on which I need to "print" to a file.
    The single-minded database system running on it only knows about
    printing to a physical printer on LPT1, not to a file.

    Many Windows utilities can capture printer data from a DOS session
    running under Windows, but they don't help me because this machine runs
    only MS-DOS 6.22 (no Windows anwyere around).

    I need something that I can install and run under plain old MS-DOS 6.22
    to capture printer data.

    Any ideas?
