PrintCapture by F&F SoftTools
syau:
Trying to do PCL printer emulation over GPIB. Downloaded a trial copy of PrintCapture by F&F SoftTools and found it works with the NI GPIB USB adaptor on Win10 and the price is reasonable $59.
The only issue is F&F SoftTools web site point to an unregistered domain :palm:
Do anybody know if there is any similar tools available ?

Hey.
I tried PrintCapture a long time ago to get output from some test equipment that only had a simple serial printer output. It worked pretty well back then, but I either got an image file, or a text file which either stripped out the images or was garbled text (can't remember).
I've just been playing around with Printfil in an XP virtual machine, it seems to work even better (can get a PDF output, text, images and all). It is more complex to configure, but at least the developer still exists (at time of writing, anyhow).
I've attached my printfil.ini for reference (changed to .txt for attaching). To output as PDF, you also need to install the Printfil virtual printer (Right-click the icon in the system tray > Help > Install printer).
I've also emailed the registered owner of printcapture.com to see if they can help.

I have also used PrintCapture and it worked very well. Even made some custom hardware to directly attach a printer output to USB. I have been trying to track down printcapture author with no luck. Have you had any success?

Hi,
Here some feedback regarding PrintCapture. In the past I had used an old version of PrintCapture a long time ago. Then in July 2017 I tested the latest version 5.5 of PrintCapture and really liked it. At that time I also had a discussion via e-mail about some features. Then in August 2017 I decided to buy the software and paid via Paypal. But I did not receive any license. At that point their server also started returning e-mails with "Mailbox size limit exceeded" and after many attempts Paypal finally refunded the money. After some time the domain also disappeared.
Maybe something bad happened to the author of the software?
