I needed to run something on a QDOS system (i.e. QemuLator) which
wouldn't run on SMSQ/E on QPC2. As I had never printed from this
QemuLator (it's version 3 BTW) I don't know how to persuade it to
print via a USB port to a printer which understands Epson control
codes.
Dilwyn,
get out from under your desk,
I can't, I'm stuck in an endless tangle of zip-tied cables :-)
keep that printer connected to USB, get yourself a comfy place
somewhere and read the QPCPrint Manual, especialy the chapter
"Installing QPCPrint as a virtual printer". This talks about a
technique how you can have hour USB printer emulate an LPT: printer.
It installs a new LPTx: (i.e. without hardware), whatever you send
there is then filtered through QPCPrint and sent to the USB printer.
I think that's exactly what you're looking for.
Cheers,
Tobias
Except (1) I never needed QPCprint with QPC, so (2) I never bought it,
so (3) I don't have it!
QPC printing works fine for me without QpcPrint. I want to see if
QemuLator to do the same thing!
