Great - thanks Rich. It never occurred to me that QPCprint could be
used with anything other than QPC2!

QPC works because it allows you to set any PC port as the port seen by
the
PAR command on the QL emulator.
So far as I know, there is no such option in q-emulator, although this
is
something I have never had to look for.
QPCPrint can be used to capture the output from any QL emulator, or
other
program running on the PC - it does this by setting up a virtual
printer
driver which captures the LPT1 port and then uses the Windows printer
processor to send the output to any connected printer. Printfil is
something similar - both programs are detailed with links on
www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/Printers2.html as an option for emulator users.
The other option is to investigate other options for capturing the
LPT1 port
and redirecting output - a good guide appears at:
http://geekswithblogs.net/dtotzke/articles/26204.aspx
Read this in conjunction with the step by step guide on the QPCPrint
site if
you want more details - http://www.kilgus.net/qpcprint/printer.html
There are others out there also - DOS2USB for example (I have never
tried
this) - but no free solutions unless you follow the examples listed
above
