The "print screen" key on your keyboard does not do it?

You will need a parallel printer in pure DOS, older HP/Epson are usually OK, USB is not supported!

If it is "graphics" you will need to load graphics.com first from the DOS directory, before you use the Print Screen key.

I am wondering if you want to do is get the output from your programme to the printer? In DOS you can redirect the output from a command eg DIR prints a directory listing on the screen; DIR>LPT1 sends the listing instead to the LPT1 port.
How you do that in assembler I don't know.

Would screenthief work to capture the screen for later review or printing?

Isn't this a typical problem when dos batches, scripts etc are run under w2k?
I have solutions for pure dos but he says he's running windows 2000. The only thing similar is a black screen with white characters.
I'm with namehere, thinking that the Print Screen button and paste to whatever will work to capture an image.
If in pure dos, Pizzaz Plus will do the job. Gotta be others out there that will do the same (allow a screen image to be printed) thing.
