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

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 Rich www.rwapsoftware.co.uk _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
