I can print a text file with the DOSPRN “Print file” option but reports from my DOS program are not captured. Why ?
Some DOS programs try to manage the printer directly through hardware input/output ports, without using DOS functions. DOSPRN can’t capture reports from such programs. If your DOS application can save reports as a text file, proceed as follow: clear the DOSPRN “Capture port” option and set up the “Job filename” properties to match your report file names. Don’t forget that temporary job file will be removed by DOSPRN after printing.
