In this video, we see 3 ways to print from DOS to a text file with Printfil, with or without user intervention.

1st method - Print preview (full user intervention):

• Print from DOS to LPT1:
• Printfil captures the print job
• Click the Create TXT icon in print preview and choose your preferred file name / location
• Here is your text file

2nd method - FILE: printer (limited user intervention):

• Now disable Preview and choose the FILE: printer
• Print from DOS again
• This time you're asked only for the file name

3rd method - Archiving (no user intervention):

• Now enable the Archiving path
• It's shown near FILE:
• Look at the folder
• Now DOS print jobs are saved as TXT without user intervention
