Print_gann trader (dosprogram)
Posted: 19 Apr 2019 15:28
I ask for help to solve a problem.
I have a Gann Trader 3 program (software for stock charts). This program written in Dos works up to the Xp windows version. It has a particular: it prints only on the parallel LPT port. To work, it needs a "at least" windows xp (or emulated by Dosbox), an LPT port (physical) and an "old" ink printer.
Therefore this program was not designed to work with USB ports and recent printers (based on USB, wireless, bt ..).
I thought about trying this program on DOS Box ... to print something.
Now, trying to emulate this program with DOSbox a technical problem occurs: the program cannot print on a virtual port (lpt1 to usb or virtual pdf) present in windows 10, 7 or ... printing does not take place.
Is there a solution that allows you to print a graph on a modern printer (usb) or a limit on PDF ??? From a Dosbox type emulator or directly from windows 10.7, xp ...
in short, how can I transfer the print from the Lpt port to usb?
I tried various solutions like Printfil .. but nothing ..
thanks
