    print

    Capturing something usually implies that you now have an image file? What is the default printer? Have you open your printers under start/settings/ printers ICON?
    Why print code?

    This should work, if it is a parallel port printer, and is on LPT1. Open a dos window and type in this command;

    copy c:\path\filename.prn LPT1

    This page will explain how to set up a bat file to do this if you plan to do this more often.
