Need Printer help [message #142559]

problems.
Found the Vice 1.19 program and see it as a temp solution to my problem. My
program works flawless, except fpr the print function.

How can I get the VICE program to print out to an exceptable form that can
be then printed as a text file.

Any help would be appreciated

You can set up VICE to emulate a printer which writes everything sent to
it into a file. The output may not show up immediatly while VICE is
running because the data is buffered. There's a menu entry somewhere to
send a "virtual" form feed to the printer that flushes the buffer.

Possibly, http://vicekb.trikaliotis.local/13-004.shtml will help Joel,
too.

Of course, that URL is wrong (works only inside my home network ;))

Try http://vicekb.trikaliotis.net/13-004 instead.
