| Help !
I'm a software developer under clipper for dos. Earlier the outputs generated on the software developed by me was coming in dot matrix printer with lpt1 interface. But my clients now wish that the outputs now be generated in usb based laser printers / inkjet printers with image/logo of their company in the background (as a watermark). they do not wish to migrate to a windows platform as the cost involved is too high, so they wish to continue using the existing dos based application developed with clipper.
Please help/guide as to how to include the commands/code whereby the printing is transferred to usb based printer in windows alongwith image printing.
I would be highly obliged if a sample programming code is also provided for the solution.
Regards.

| Try the DOSPRN utility. You can print to any windows printer from almost any DOS application without modifying the code. Also, for Clipper queries, try the comp.lang.clipper forum on Google groups.

| Again, you *Don't* (!!!) need to change any code in order to do this. Go to www.dosprn.com, download an evaluation copy of dosprn and try it.
