I am using an old gwbasic program under windows 7 in windows xp-mode and print with dosprn
But now I try to use pc-basic which runs perfectly on windows 7. I start my basic-program from a batch file on the desktop and everything looks great but it doesn´t print.
My old gw-basic-program contains a lot of lprint commands which are directed to lpt1. In xp-mode this lpt1-output could be redirected with dosprn to an usb-printer.
But dosprn doesn´t work in windows 7 (or I was not able to install it correctly)
According to the topic "printing from pc-basic" I tried to change the line "Lpt1=" to "lpt1=printer;" in the file pcbasic.ini but it didn´t help. How to say to which usb-printers the lprint-command should be directed?
Thanks in advance for any help, Peter from Vienna, Austria

Sorry, I don't understand this. What programs are you referring to that you open in Notepad?
