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.

I'm having some problems in this dept
Attempting to get Qprint going properly as it seems very slow.
printer is on a USB port
I tried to use the above test as a procedure in boot programe but
problem is I can't get to save anything on Win1_ (win file on C)
although I can save on win7_ ( an add on usb/sata drive ) win7_ was
created on a windows Xp computer, win1_ on this vista computer with a
security tab in the properties section that is not on the win7_drive.
Could this all be to do with me perhaps moving QPC from computer to new
computer to many times invalidating the registry key?
if I try to incorporate the above printer test as a procedure in my boot
programme it will not accept 'ser'
I get -- OPEN#3,ser, -- should get OPEN#3,SER
same with the _use commands I get PAR_USE ser and SER_USE par
I have PAR set to printer (default printer) and Filter box checked
SER1 to COM1 SER2 to COM2
Perhaps I need to send my disc to Jochen to get upgraded or new Registry
key,I have downloaded lates version from QPC site
Also when setting up Qprint do I still need to install that DOS bit
All the best - Bill
