Printfil

What is Printfil?

Print on any Windows printer: USB, GDI, Virtual, from any character-based application DOS, Unix, Linux.

Printfil is a Windows utility that allows character-based DOS and UNIX applications to be printed on any printer on your Windows network without making any changes to the original application.

You don't need to abandon legacy DOS programs or avoid UNIX/Linux applications because of possible printer problems in Windows. Printfil captures the character-based print output of any job on your computer or standalone network and makes it work on your Windows printer.

In addition to working with all Windows printers, Printfil supports USB printers, network printers, fax modems, and PDF recorders. Even if you have a DOS/Windows application or a UNIX/Linux application running on a Windows PC via Telnet, Printfil will capture your print output easily and without having to change your original application.

Printfil has two ways to capture the information you want to print: you can configure your application to write the printed output to an ASCII file, or you can have Printfil capture the data that your application is sending to its parallel port. Printfil can automatically redirect your print jobs to any printer, including the one that is physically connected to the captured port.

Unlike simple print redirection utilities, Printfil comes with all the extras you'd expect to find in a professional application, it has a built-in print preview function, you can include logos and other images stored in separate files, text can be colored, and the output originally intended for a large matrix printer can be printed in landscape mode on an inkjet.

Printfil works with third-party fax programs to fax your printed output and third-party PDF generators to obtain PDF files with or without user intervention, with encryption and password protection, which can be sent via email even without expensive additional software.

Instead of using complicated printer emulation codes to create special effects, such as bold, italic, underscore, and condensed, Printfil can inspect the print file that your application creates and reproduce the corresponding effects on any printer you are using.
