Printfil allows printing to Windows printers, from Dos, Windows programs or Unix, Linux, legacy applications running on a Windows PC via telnet or other terminal emulator software.
You can set your application to print to an ascii file, or you can let Printfil automatically capture one or more parallel port (even from LPT1: to LPT9: simultaneously), and redirect your DOS print jobs to any Windows printer, including USB, GDI, IP network printers, fax printers and PDF writers, even if a printer is physically connected to the captured port or no LPT ports are physically installed, on any machine running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, including Terminal Server environments and Linux via Wine.
By the integrated print preview you can see on screen what you are about to print, saving paper and ink if its not correct
You can use cheaper GDI printers (Windows-Only) instead of having to buy expensive msdos compatible printers
You can merge standard Windows images, like BMP and EMF files to your textual print jobs (logos, invoices, letterhead), so that you can get rid of pre-printed forms
You can directly print to a fax printer instead of printing a sheet and scanning it or walking and wait in front of the fax machine
With PDF export / e-mailing (including encryption, password protection, with or without user intervention), your legacy print jobs can be sent out easily and with a professional look
Archiving print jobs in digital format becomes a very simple task.
