[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Redirecting LPT1 to a disk file

rgates@oregon.uoregon.edu (Rick Gates) (06/13/89)

   Does anyone know how I can redirect LPT1 output on my micro to
a disk file?  I got ahold of something called LPTX.COM that was
supposed to hook BIOS Int 17, but this just kept either hanging
my machine, (Northgate 286/12, DOS 3.3), after about 100 bytes,
or not working at all.  I removed all TSRs and that didn't help
either.  Anyone know of any nifty utility I can get my hands on?

				Thanks,

Try PRN2FILE.COM from PC Magazine Vol 7 No. 22 (Dec 87).

I just saw a blurb in PC WORLD (July 89, p. 86) for a product called
PrintRite.  It's a print spooler that let's you print to disk.  It's
$99.95 from Rite Software Inc., 4144 N. Central Expressway, Dallas, TX
75204, 1-800-331-6977.

I'm not speaking for the company, I'm just speaking my mind.
I have no relation to Rite Software, and have no idea how well
this product works or might suit your needs.
