At my work we use dos-based computer-software running under win95

We make an order with a handheld-barcode scanner, and then we print it out
using this dosprogram

But often we would like to add something to the print (like: "Please deliver
this week" or "Contact: Paul") but we can not do that with our software....
We have to write it on the print (before it's faxed)...

My question is:
Can you catch the print of this program and then paste it into word or
notepad?

It's printed as plain text to the LPT1 port, picked up by windows, and
printed by the printerdriver. But can't we replace the printerdriver with
some sort of program or fake print-driver?

Grtz,

Peymora
