PrinterStealer:
--------------
This utility is destinated to replace a printer connected to AMIGA
by a file. PrinterStealer works by replacing the standard
parallel.device ( or serial.device depending on Preferences ) by
its own device that writes to a file all WRITE commands.
PrinterStealer can be loaded from CLI or by an icon. Type into the
string gadget a file name (if file <file name> already exists then
it will be created anew ) to which you want the output to be
send. At the moment you click on the START gadget, the Stealer
device is created and linked to the system before the standard
devices. Now, whenever you access PRT: (printer.device or a PRINT
option in any software), the translated output for the printer
installed with Preferences will be written to the file.
You can pause/restart the process by clicking at SUSPEND gadget.
To remove the stealer device press STOP gadget ( it will also close
the file).
EXAMPLE with DPaint:
-------------------
Install the desired printer with Preferences. Then load DPaint and
PrinterStealer. Load a picture with DPaint. Enter a file name into
PrinterStealer string gadget and press START button. This will
create the file and the stealer device. Choose PRINT option of
DPaint. Then sit back and watch your drives turning....
After 'printing' this image, you can continue printing to the
same file just by loading another image and choosing the PRINT
option again. If you wish to print to another file, enter
another file name to the PrinterStrealer's string gadget. The
previously opened file will be closed, and a new one created.
Enjoy!
