I am running a DOS-based application "Q&A 4 by Systematics" on XP. I cannot get it to print to the printer I have connected and it only takes up 1/3 of the screen. Can anyone help me with this?
well, this takes us back rather far ..... DOS boxes in Windows XP. There are a couple questions that I would need to know before really being able to answer this. I have used my version of Windows XP to print from DOS, but full DOS support is printer specific.
Is the printer connected via Parallel, USB, or another connection? (Parallel is the preferred mode)
Is the Windows Driver for the printer installed and working correctly?
Can you send a "DOS Dump" to the printer when on parallel? (in a dos box c:\DIR > LPT1)
What printer and computer do you have?
That should help direct any info people can help you with.
