Hi guys!!
I have an old dos aplication that i run on win2k and everytithing is fine but...under win 98 there was a shift+print-screen command who was directly print on the default printer but it is no longer working under 2k. So i asume that is because there is no more dos but i am looking how to correct this problem. I heard about maybe doing a batch file to redirect the printer in prompt but i know nothing about batch file... i also try to type net use lpt1 \\path but no success.
ANYBODY CAN HELP ME?

There are software programs available to do this, but I just use Word.

Alt-Print Screen captures only the active window.

Print Screen captures the entire screen.

Then just paste into Word.

Usually under win98 we were shift print then all the text display was orinting on the default printer.
