Msg: Re: Testing printing with vDosXy 500

I see that DOS2USB has a 1-year, must-be-renewed license regime, and it does not mention any support for Win 10. I had thought that I once saw reference to something like this that was natively part of Windows: a print interceptor / redirector ? LPTMON, or something like that ?

Also, is vDosXy and its various printing solutions still viable for Win 10 ? (I really don't want any part of Win 10 myself, and have already watched installations of it croak on two computers . . . BUT, I can also see that I probably won't be able to avoid Win 10 completely . . . .)

Jordan,

If you have an old DOS printer connected to LPT1, you can use the raw
print option. Otherwise GhostPCL is your best bet, and as a bonus, it
offers a really nice print preview. When using Xy4, You may achieve
better results with a PCL printer file (e.g. PCL.PR4). And for Xy3, I
recommend the new PCL_LTR.PR3, PCL_LGL.PR3 and PCL_A4.PR3. The installer
does not have these, they are are a separate download
(http://www.lexitec.fi/xywrite/PCL_print_files_for_XY3.zip).
