Hi there

My German counterpart is having problems printing from DOS on the remote
machine in South Africa.

Here's a breakdown of his problem:

"...Now he is using dos and wants to make printouts. The problem there
is, dos doesn't use the windows printers, it just sends its data to
lpt1. I can share a com port over rdp, but no lpt! What to do? Have you
ever heard of a programm that captures dos printouts and save the to a
file? I heard that somethinglike that should excist. But
that's all I know. Any Ideas?"

As you can see, we're looking for a solution probably along the lines of
printing DOS programs directly into a file format.

Any help?

Thanks,
Bryan
