I am running an application(DOS) under windows NT. I need to redirect the print jobs from the printer to a file name. Is there a simple DOS command I can use?

Thanks.

IF YOUR APPLICATION IS A BAT FILE YOU CAN ADD A COMMAND TO REDIRECT THE OUTPUT TO
YOUR PRINTER [LPT(n)].
ARE YOU USING A NETWORK OR LOCAL PRINTER?

(COMMAND TO REDIRECT AN EXISTENT FILE TO A PRINTER IS:

TYPE [FILENAME.FIL] > LPTn

OR

TYPE [FILENAME.FIL] > PRN

LPT(n) BEING YOUR NETWORK PRINTER SETTING
(n)=NUMBER OF PRINTER 1,2,3,-ETC.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT REDIRECTING FROM THE PRINT QUE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU MEAN.
DOESN'T THE PRINTER ITSELF GET THE FILE CONVERTED IN (EMF) FORMAT? IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME ASSEMBLY CODE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW YET.

You can do it with a little program.

PRN2FILE.COM

AT THE PROMPT YOU WRITE:
PRN2FILE FILENAME.TXT
AND ALL YOU PRINT ON LPT1 WILL BE PUT IN THE FILE YOU NAMNED.

I MAIL IT TO YOU.

GOOD LUCK

would you send me a copy of PRN2FILE too ?

I f it posible that u will sen me the program too

You can redirect your print job to file with the help of "prn2file.com" (a small prg) but this utility can be used, when you are using dos as an o.s. this prg does not support win9X. I can send this small prg
If you find any utility which supports win9X or winy2k, pl. send me.
