How do I configure Printfil to capture DosBox printjobs ?

DOSBOX is a DOS emulator, freely available at http://www.dosbox.com - Some Customers do use it to run their DOSprograms; mainly on 64 bit Windows systems (that cannot run 16 bitsoftware, like DOS, natively).
If instead you're using the vDos or vDosPlus DOSBox variant, please see the faq: How to print from vDos / vDosPlus.

Howto configure Printfil to capture DOS print jobs run inside DosBox dependsmainly by how the DOS program itself produces those jobs:

1. The DOS program 'prints to file' itself.
2. The DOS program prints to a parallel port (LPT1: , LPT2: , LPT3:) or a serial port (COM1: , COM2: , COM3: , COM4:)

1) The DOSprogram 'prints to file' itself

Inthis case you just have to point Printfil to the very same file nameproduced by the DOS program.Shelter 2 mountains ep download free pc game.

Youcan do it by inserting that file name in the 'File to check'field at Configuration -> Standard
There's no need to select any COM Port or LPT port to capture in that configurationdialog.

Assoon as the DOS program finishes printing, Printfil will capture thejob-file and will show it on screen, if Preview isenabled at Configuration -> Standard, orwill directly send it to the choosen Windows printer.

2) The DOSprogram prints to parallel ports (LPT1:, LPT2:, LPT3:) or serial ports (COM1:, COM2:, COM3:, COM4:)

Inthis case please note that the Standard DosBox buildavailable at the link above does NOT support parallel portemulation, so, print jobs sent by a DOS program to (say)LPT1: in DosBox simply 'disappears' and Printfil receives nothing tocapture, even if you've selected the LPT1: port at Configuration-> Standard .

There arehowever special DosBox builds (DosBox SVN Daum and DosBox MegaBuild)that DO support parallel port emulation

NEW:
You can use the free DosPrint program that checks your PC configuration, then downloads, installs and configures both the right DosBox emulator and Printfil without having to do those tasks manually. DosPrint is available for free at https://www.DosPrint.com

If instead you already have DOSBox up and running on your machine, the newer Printfil version automatically detects if DosBox SVN Daum or DosBox MegaBuild isinstalled on your Windows machine when selecting aLPT port to capture at Configuration -> Standardand asks you if you want to automatically configure DosBox to capture the selected COM port or LPT port.

So, in order to capture print jobs sent to the LPT1: , LPT2: , LPT3: , COM1: , COM2: , COM3: or COM4: portby a DOS program within DosBox you just have to:

1. If it's a parallel port, install DosBox SVN Daum (http://ykhwong.x-y.net) or DosBox MegaBuild (http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-9000)
2. If you're using a previous Printfil version, upgrade your Printfil copy
3. Go to Configuration-> Standard and select the LPT port or COM port you want to capture

If you prefer to redirect DOSBox prints to Printfil without using the standard configuration dialog, you can do it by the command line parameters from the Windows Command Prompt as described in the article: How to make Printfil capturing prints in DOSBoxStreamer shall not pass download free torrent.
