Anyone know if Q-emuLator can print to a printer on a USB port? As
far
See the manual (chapter 6, I think), but this is the gist of it:
1) Prerequisite is to have the printer installed under Windows
2) In the QL Configuration window, make sure the serial port you'll
use is redirected to the printer (it is by default for SER1 and
SER2)
3) In the QL software, print to the SER port. If the QL software
allows you to choose a printer, choose an old Epson model.
An easy test is:
OPEN#3,SER:PRINT#3,"HELLO":CLOSE#3
This should print "HELLO" to your PC printer (USB or otherwise)
As you say, the other way is to use the parallel port.

Thanks again for this, Daniele.
Can you tell me whether the virtual printer system can handle
Epson-format graphics printing?
I haven't tried yet, but what I had in mind was to install sdump_rext
on QemuLator, choose an Epson printer and use SDUMP to print gaphics
via the emulator if possible.
And if Marcel is reading this, can you tell me if QPCprint can also do
this?
