geeze. bmx_matt1234 if that's your answer then stop answering questions.\n\nYou will want to capture the printer port prior to running your DOS app. This should work but not always as XP DOS is not really DOS.\n\nI'm not going to retype the solutions already typed out at these sites, check them out:

A text file with the .BAT extention. \n\nIt will then be executable, and run the commands listed in the file in order via DOS prompt.

The sad fact is this, no, not in MS-DOS.  The good side is this: Yes, probably in Visual Basic, or as an actual Windows Console application if you wanted to out of any Win32 capable language.  And better yet, their are several freeware windows scripting languages that may allow this.  I leave it to you to do a couple of searches and find out about most of this, but the URL below may be an excellent place to start.

Type TRACERT address  at the DOS prompt.  I have XP here and it works fine.\n\nPS- Anybody that might run TRACERT needs to have a shortcut on the desktop to CMD.

This must mean that the program is DOS based. Run it in window (and not fullscreen) mode, and then try the PrintScreen key.\n\nHope that works.

That particular printer connects to the computer by way of a parallell cable. The parallell port on the back of your computer is shaped like the monitor port, but it is longer. Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers. Double-click Add New Printer, or select it from the list on the left side of the screen (in Windows XP). This will start the Add New Printer Wizard. If your printer is not listed (it should be listed if you have Windows XP), or if you have the installation CD for the printer, click Have Disk and install that driver and software.\n\nWhen the installation wizard tells you to, connect the printer to the computer. Then, finish the installation, and you should be ready to print.

Easiest way is to press "Print Screen" and paste it in MS Word or other imging or word processing software.

Use the cd software that came with the printer or...\nIf you have windows follow these instructions, first click the start button, look for the control pannel shortcut then click on it, find the printers and other hardware option, then click add a printer, it should bring you to a wizard, click Next, then change the options that may apply to you, it should then look for a printer, if it cannot locate the printer you will have to install it manually by clicking next, choose the port you want to use to locate your printer and then click next, after that click the brand of you printer, then select your version of your printer, click next and you should be done.\n(note: this will only work on windows and may vary if you do not use windows xp)

not in a batch file but you can use basic to do it. You should be able to find BASIC on your xP  CD
