[comp.sys.amiga] Redirection of printer output

CCUWINT%indsvax1.bitnet@uicvm.uic.edu (08/31/90)

Can anyone tell me how to re-assign the printer port to a file.

In IBM PC machines, a capture command will do this.  I tried

ASSIGN PRT: RAM:FILE

but it returned an error message.  What am I doing wrong?

Use the CMD program in the system Utilities directory.  The syntax is

            CMD   PARALLEL  filename  OPT option

"parallel" can be replaced with "serial" to redirect the output from the serial
device.  The command is documented on page 1-12 of the 1.3 Enhancer Software manual.
