> LPT or parallel port access

Last time I tried I couldn't get this working with DOSBox. Can someone who knows this stuff well comment on whether this represents an extension of DOSbox capabilities or if I've just missed what DOSbox can already do?



This is a framework for building things that run on DOS (yes, that means running JavaScript on DOS). If what you’re running DOS on has a working parallel port, DOjS can use it.


Ah yes sorry that is clear in my head now


Vanilla DOSBox does not do printer emulation.

DOSBox-X (https://dosbox-x.com/), a fork with extended features, implements full parallel port emulation.
