DOSPRN is created to support a DOS-program printing to modern ink jet and laser printers. Many inexpensive printers can't print in text-mode, but print in graphic-mode only (so called GDI-devices). Also, old (and some newer) DOS-programs were created on the basis of a text-mode matrix printer. In addition, many printers can't support the native languages in text-mode.
DOSPRN helps to get over this problem. You can use it with DOS-programs and customize any printer.
DOSPRN is distributed as Shareware. You can learn how to use DOSPRN during the trial time. After this period, you should register your copy or remove it completely from your computer with the uninstall utility under the DOSPRN Program Group.
You can start DOSPRN by clicking on a shortcut on your desktop or in the "Startup" folder (in case you selected this option during installation). After you start DOSPRN, you can find its icon in the tray area (near the system clock, usually in right bottom corner). DOSPRN ready to work now.
