Hi, Ken!  How's the database search going?

Why simulate, just use what's already built in, <Ctrl-PrintScreen>.

When the computer starts it's reads of the CONFIG.SYS, toggle the printer on
(make sure your printer's on) and away it will go.  Don't forget to toggle it
off when it's done booting up.

Granted, it's not going to a file, but you do get hard copy of the real thing.
