Hi All, I have hooked up a parallel to serial converter on the printer port of the M100 and can receive output to the printer on the PC using a terminal program. Basic listings and programs sent to the printer work fine and show on the PC terminal screen nicely. However, when I use <shift><print> to print a text file, it would appear that printer control codes are being sent as well (which would be normal).
Does anyone know of a utility to emulate an Epson MX80 on the PC end i.e., take input from the serial port and either send it to the windows printer or preferably capture it to a pdf file? I am aware that Virtual-T has print functionality, however what I am trying to do is test the parallel printer port is working on real M100’s. It would also be nice to be able to ‘print’ files using Ultimate ROM, Lucid etc. Thoughts anyone?
