Michael,

I use DOSPrinter 2.5 from www.geocities.com/dosprint

I created a generic printer object in XP, defined on "port" -- actually filename 
-- 

c:\dosprinter\dosprint.prn

Then DOSPrinter is configured to take as its input the same file, and print to 
some other printer, e.g. the default printer.  It does a nice job with Epson 
emulation.  Every time you "print" to the DOSPRINT printer text file, 
Dosprinter notices and converts the output through Windows. I think I had to 
"share" the DOSPrinter printer to get it to work.

We didn't actually have much need for it in R:Base by the time we had 
upgraded everything to XP or 2000, but it did a beautiful job of keeping a 
DOS-based accounting program running and printing checks for a while.

that was used for R:Base for DOS with Windows NT and it seems that it 
worked for 2000 as well but I can't seem to remember it or find it.
