Printfil allows printing from DOS, Unix, Linux, host programs to any Windows printer, including USB, GDI, network printers, fax printers and PDF writers, without changes to the original applications. You can set your application to print to an ascii file, or you can let Printfil capturing one or more parallel ports (PRN: and from LPT1: to LPT9:), automatically redirecting your print jobs to any printer, even to a printer which is physically connected to the captured port or if no LPT ports are physically installed on your PC. it allows also: - preview printing - include logos or other images stored in separate files - colorize the text - print A4 landscape sheets in place of printing on dot-matrix 136-column printers - print to ANY printer installed on the Windows Control Panel, including USB, GDI, Windows-only and Virtual printers - send print jobs via fax (using any third-party fax software which acts like a printer - eg. Microsoft Fax - or a multifunction - all-in-one - printer) - use specialist windows fonts (barcodes, for instance) as well as normal characters - export print jobs in PDF format, with or without user intervention, even with encryption and password protection - send print jobs via e-mail by using your own e-mail client program, with or without user intervention - use a single, customizable set of escape sequences for ALL printers, regardless of make, model and emulation provided (if any, as for GDI printers) - print complex jobs to legacy printers in RAW mode (graphs, drawings) - archive a copy of all the captured jobs - use multiple printers simultaneously All this without changes to your applications If you are developing host based applications (like Unix) to run on a Windows Terminal Emulator, you can stop battling with transparent-print characters and different settings for different printers. All you need is a shared file system (NFS, SCO-VisionFS, Samba and others) to store output for your print jobs and PRINTFIL.

Simplified Terminal Server installations. It's no nore needed to write complex logon scripts and manually replicate the Printfil.ini file to run multiple Printfil instances on the server with different configurations for the different users; 3. Licenses centralization on the network server. When Printfil is used on a network (either peer-to-peer or in Terminal Server environments) now the license codes are stored all in once, on the server, without having to register each single client anymore; 4. Environment variables recognition in the "File to check" field, in addition to the already supported wildcards (* and ?); 5. Improved Windows Vista compatibility; 6.

If you don't specify this data, the PDF file will be named as the TXT one, just like in the previous versions; 3. By the optional CFG file, now you can choose to automatically open a PDF file created without user intervention inside the default PDF reader (Acrobat Reader or others) installed in the client PC. Practically, you can use Acrobat Reader as an alternative to the Printfil's preview; 4. Added a new command line parameter: CLOSE By running "Printfil CLOSE" you can automatically close all the Printfil copies which are in execution on the machine. It's useful when Printfil is run by a batch file, to avoid having multiple copies running simultaneously; 5.
