Capture Lpt1


DOS Printer can attempt to intercept jobs being sent to LPT1: from DOS Programs.
 
It does this by installing a "DOS Capture" printer driver which it can communicate with to "grab" jobs from the queue and turn then into text files. 
 
This will not work on All systems.  For example If you have DOS Programs that print Images, if you have a real printer attached to lpt1, if DOS Printer is unable to install the required printer or make the required registry changes due to some security or operating system issue.
 
If this does not work you have 2 options:
(1) have your dos program print to a file, and use the Monitored Printing function of DOS Printer.
(2) check out What if your DOS program cannot print to the file
