@SwIt Printfil
Printfil allows character-based programs printing to any Windows printer, including USB, network printers, faxmodems and PDF writers, even if it is a Dos/Windows application or a Unix/Linux program running on a Windows PC via telnet, without changes to the original applications.
You can set your application to print to an ascii file, or you can have Printfil capturing a parallel port output, automatically redirecting your print jobs to any printer, even to a printer which is physically connected to the captured port.
it allows also:
– preview printing
– include logos or other images stored in separate files
– colorize the text
– print A4 landscape sheets in place of printing on dot-matrix 136-column printers
– print to ANY printer installed on the Windows Control Panel, including USB, GDI, Windows-only and Virtual printers
– send print jobs via fax (using any third-party fax software which acts like a printer – eg. Microsoft Fax – or a multifunction – all-in-one – printer)
– use specialist windows fonts (barcodes, for instance) as well as normal characters
– export print jobs in PDF format, with or without user intervention, even with encryption and password protection
– send print jobs via e-mail by using your own e-mail client program, with or without user intervention
– use a single, customizable set of escape sequences for ALL printers, regardless of make, model and emulation provided (if any, as for GDI printers)
– print complex jobs to legacy printers in RAW mode (graphs, drawings)
– archive a copy of all the captured jobs
– use multiple printers simultaneously
All this without changes to your applications
If you are developing host based applications (like Unix) to run on a Windows Terminal Emulator, you can stop battling with transparent-print characters and different settings for different printers. All you need is a shared file system (NFS, SCO-VisionFS, Samba and others) to store output for your print jobs and PRINTFIL.
