Ok, I may be blind and missed how to do this in the relevant docs, but I can't seem to find any info on this. Here is my situation and my question.
I have some games that are in .adf files, and I have Amiga Forever, using UAE, to play them on. The games work well, I just can't remember how to play some of them. I found sites with game manuals for download. The game manuals are in .adf files as well. I can use UAE to load the manuals to read them, which is fine.
I want to know if I can PRINT the text that I can see on the screen when using UAE to view the .adf manuals?
There is a PRINT button on the screen in the manual programs, but when I hit it the screen says "Print Completed" and the screen flashes. Nothing happens. I realize that it is a problem with the emulator communicating with my PC printer, so I was wondering if anyone else would know the answer. Thanks in advance for any info that you can give. :)

That's exactly what I wanted to do a long time ago !
I cannot remember exactly, but I know I had huge troubles with this. I somehow managed to get the printer to work, but it always stopped printing after 2 or 3 lines of text. Don't know what the problem was...

I asked for some help about this and one guy told me to set the LPT port to a file. This way everything that is put out on the LPT is going into a file, and can be printed from there later.
But somehow I remember this didn't help me either back then....
