Whether DOSPRN is compatible with DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOS?

First we have to notice public version DOSBox 0.7x doesn't support printing from DOS at all.

Since we recommend to use "DOSBox Mega Build 6" (http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-9000/) release with bugfixes is compatible with DOSPRN. You can download it here: DOSBox_Megabuild6-win32-installer.exe

Please take into account for printing DOS reports automatically you should change DOSBox configuration for saving LPT1 traffic directly into DOSPRN buffer file "C:\TEMP\PRNSPL1". Please adjust next settings:

a) Chose "Edit Configuration" DOSBOX option from the main menu and modify "parallel" section in the such way:

[parallel]
parallel1=file append:c:\temp\prnspl1
parallel2=disabled
parallel3=disabled

b) Create C:\TEMP\ directory if it does not exist

c) Open DOSPRN window and ucheck 'Capture port' option if checked

d) Enter "C:\TEMP\PRNSPL1" value in the 'Spool filename (filemask)' entry field.

We'd specified "C:\TEMP\" directory as a sample only. You can use another favorite temporary directory.
