To output data to either a parallel port, or a USB printer in Windows, from within a program running in a DOS window, you first need to place the data in the Windows Clipboard. There are two ways to do this:

Method #1: First, to get the data in to the Windows Clipboard, press the 4th icon from the left, at the top of the small DOS window, marked 'Full screen.' Now, in full screen mode, press, on your keyboard, 'Alt + Print Scrn' to transfer the data to the clipboard. To return to the original small DOS window, press, on your keyboard, 'Alt + Enter.' Open Windows Notepad, press 'Edit' and then 'Paste.' Now you can direct the data to your printer.

Note: Windows Notepad will only accept input from a full screen DOS window, and not a small screen, using 'Alt +Print Scrn.' if you try to transfer data to Notepad from a small DOS window, the 'Paste' option will be greyed out.

Method #2:
In a normal small DOS window, use the two icons on the left, at the top of the DOS window. First, press 'Mark,' then left-click & drag the small white cursor to highlight all the data you wish to transfer to the Windows Clipboard. Now, with the data highlighted, press 'Copy' to transfer the data to the clipboard. Now you canpaste in to Windows Paint, Wordpad, or Microsoft Word, and then on to your printer.
