It IS possible to send output of a DOS program to the Windows Printer. I have a DOS program that does that. I just don't know how it does it...Bill Reese <<<< SignWriting List November 8, 2000 SW List members and Bill! Thanks Bill for these comments. As you know, Rich Gleaves, the programmer of SW 1.0-4.3, has now created a SW 4.4 for us...which includes some improvements in regards to printing...however I have not released it yet because of a time crunch on other jobs. But hopefully soon, SW 4.3 will be "out-of-date", and SW 4.4 will be our current release. No matter what, whether it be 4.3 or 4.4, it appears that if a person restarts their computer "directly in MS-DOS", by-passing Windows completely, you will have less problems running SW 4.3 in general, which was designed for MS-DOS, before Windows existed. As far as USB goes...that was a technological development that developed much later, I believe, so it is very possible that in MS-DOS, a USB interface is not possible? Are you printing from SignWriter 4.3, Bill, using the USB interface? If so, what were your settings in SignWriter 4.3? -- Val ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton Visit the SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org |
