Printing from MS-DOS Programs
Windows can redirect print data from a parallel port on your PC (e.g. LPT1) to a network
printer. This redirection is called "Capture Printer Port", and is useful for MS-DOS programs.
The MS-DOS program is configured to use LPT1 (parallel port 1 on the PC), but Windows
"captures" the print data and sends it to the network printer.
Capture Settings - Windows 98/ME
1. Select Start - Settings - Printers to open the Printers folder.
2. Right-click the desired Printer, and select Properties,
3. On the Details tab, shown above, click the Capture Printer Port button to view the
Capture Printer Port dialog, as shown below.
4. On this dialog:
•
Select the Device (port) on the PC to be captured. Normally, this will be LPT1
(parallel port 1).
•
Enter or select the Path to the printer. This will be the same as the path shown as Print
to the following port on the Printer Properties window.
•
Check the Reconnect at logon checkbox. If this is not done, the capture setting will be
lost when Windows is restarted.
