Hi everybody,

I have a client that uses a DOS-based application in all his stores in order to collect information and have it sent to a central office.

Updating the application to windows is out of the question for the time being as it serves all their current and mid-term future needs superbly.

The problem I'm having right now is finding printers that are still useable from a DOS-only environment.

I'm asking for help in order to find out which current-breed printers are DOS-compatible. All you need to do if you can help me is download a text file that resides at http://www.tastrade.com/dosprinter, reboot your computer in DOS mode, and simply copy the text file to your lpt1: port (just issue the following command: COPY PTEST.TXT LPT1:).

All I need to know is whether the data prints and the page ejects.

Please post here the printer brand and model number.

Thanks!

Alex
