    Default Re: DOS to pdf

    In my company we used to use a DOS based program but could get it to print to a windows printer (if you are running your DOS session within Windows??) by adding a command NET USE LPT1: \\printserver\printername

    The command just captures the LPT1 port to a printer shared on your PC, if you install CUTEPDF (or similar) then share this printer as PDF and your PC is called work then the command net use lpt1: \\work\PDF should work for you.

    If your using a pure DOS based system then I dont know of any PDF creating apps - sorry!

    Thanks Bugmonsta where would you put the command? Would that then send all the pdf, as most of the time I print out on site to canon bubblejet! it is only occasionaly that I need to send to clients.

    Hi doughboy sorry I am not sure what you mean about format?
