Um, a question from me this time...
Anyone know if Q-emuLator can print to a printer on a USB port? As
far as I can see it seems to be only possible to print to a parallel
LPT port on the PC, or in some cases a serial port printer if using
the emulation mode.
Dilwyn,
if it doesn't, that's exactly what Marcel's QPCPrint was intended for
- It's in no way tied to QPC and can, with some twiddling, create an
LPT on PCs without one.

I needed to run something on a QDOS system (i.e. QemuLator) which
wouldn't run on SMSQ/E on QPC2. As I had never printed from this
QemuLator (it's version 3 BTW) I don't know how to persuade it to
print via a USB port to a printer which understands Epson control codes.
Dilwyn,
get out from under your desk, keep that printer connected to USB, get
yourself a comfy place somewhere and read the QPCPrint Manual, especialy
the chapter "Installing QPCPrint as a virtual printer". This talks about
a technique how you can have hour USB printer emulate an LPT: printer.
It installs a new LPTx: (i.e. without hardware), whatever you send there
is then filtered through QPCPrint and sent to the USB printer. I think
that's exactly what you're looking for.
Cheers,
Tobias
