Re: Winprint



Jordan and John,

Did you get all this to work to your satisfaction? I have not tested
this, and normally do not print from Xy, so I am just asking out of
curiosity.


There are other utilities that could be of use for this kind of setup,
like this freeware program: http://lerup.com/printfile/
Read more about it at:

Then there is this pcl program:
Demo: http://www.pclreader.com/ and corresponding paid software:

Winprint does appear to expect a rudimentary, generic driver, like Epson. If you load a HP PCL driver, it won't work. Using an Epson driver or the generic driver, I can get bold with winprint, but no underscores. So it is limited. The default Dosprinter utility which comes with vDos (but for which you have to pay and which, in my experience, doesn't handle courier fonts properly) also uses an Epson driver, but will do underscores. If you want to use a PCL driver, with more text control, download PCL16.exe from Edward Mendelson's site (it's bundled with a ghostscript utility) and place it in the vdos directory. Then load an HP laser driver and print normally using ty" command. This will print to screen with a PDF, which you can in turn send to the printer or save to disk.
