Hi Mike:

Try this:

Download PRN2FILE.ZIP, unzip it, and put the
PRN2FILE.COM file on your DOS machine somewhere
"on the path" so all your programs can get to it.
http://www.geocities.com/DOSPrint/prn2file.zip

Type this command:
PRN2FILE  c:\report.prn

Now start your DOS application and print out the
reports in the usual way.  The printer won't
print, but all the output will be directed to the
new "C:\REPORT.PRN" file.

If the target file is not removed, additional
reports will be appended to any existing target
file.

This version of PRN2FILE (there are others
floating around) has no facility for "unloading"
itself.  Reboot your DOS computer to reconnect the
regular printer.

Now, take the C:\REPORT.PRN file on a floppy disk
to your XP computer and print it from a DOS box:
COPY  A:\REPORT.PRN  PRN
