You could send the output to a file, then open it with Notepad, Wordpad or MSIE to print it. You may have to change page length, width or margins depending on which of the 3 you use. :P

A.N.D. Technologies DOSPrint, runs as a service and allows DOS print to any Windows printer.

Yes yes yes, there it was. Youth must go, ah yes. But youth is only being in a way like it might be an animal. No, it is not just being an animal so much as being like one of these malenky toys you viddy being sold in the streets, like little chellovecks made out of tin and with a spring inside and then a winding handle on the outside and you wind it up grrr grrr grrr and off it itties, like walking, O my brothers. But it itties in a straight line and bangs straight into things bang bang and it cannot help what it is doing. Being young is like being like one of these malenky machines.

Can anyone describe a solution for such problem more in details? My mother has an old dos application and she want to use it on her new notebook with Windows XP SP3. DOS program works but it prints nothing on the USB printer now.

I installed A.N.D. Technologies DOSPrint but nothing changed. Her USB Canon 4100 prints nothing when the dos program says the document has been printed.

I expect the answer Jos gave in the post before yours is the best method to try. Just try searching for an explanation; here is one.

Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

Yes, of course, I tried to MAP LPT1 device in thesame way as Jos recommened but unfortunately. Mom's Canon still prints nothing unlike I can see a successfully finished print job in the printer's tasks list.

Since I asked this question here. And I have to notice Canon works with Windows applications (Notepad, Word, Paint etc) without any problems.

Try sharing the printer on the network, and set the printer share name, something like canon, then run this batch file ate startup

net use lpt1 /delete
net use lpt1 \\pcname\canon

Man, I did it!! Look above at my last message. I mapped LPT1 with 'net use' command but Canon prints nothing. Moreover our IT support guy said this printer cannot print from DOS at all since it has been designed for Windows only.

By the way if somebody interested ..... I'm playing around this problem two weeks. I gooogled several different tools which claim they allow to print DOS documents on printers designed for Windows..... T tested all of them and I'm not happy either from one of them ....

At least I tried to contact their support teams and decided to use the software whose author will respond faster than anyone else and can help to solve my problem.

Now I use dosprn utility. It's not a bad choice since it is a cheap and useful and their support always answer the questions ....
