That is one of the ideas i am trying but i dont know what to change in the prtn.exe on dos machine to make print to file or a: or where ever happen. (( make this more clear the info is being sent from a program that can not be exited, i go to a choice and print and it send it I am guessing to the print.exe which sends it to the print port)) This what most sites say to type in /d:device /b:size /u:ticks1 /m:ticks2 /s:ticks3 /q:size /t i dont know the ticks of the file if i could find this in the print.exe file then i am wondering if i change the device to a: if it would print to a: Searching for what to type in the print.exe file to make the info go to a file. Im sure this fairly easy i just need a little something from a dos person to fill in the gaps missing
