Printfil 5.32: Windows Server 2025 Terminal Server. PCL and DOSBox enhancements.

Newsletter no. 1/2025 - 12 Mar 2025 - View others

Dear Client,

I'm pleased to announce to you the new Printfil 5.32 release.

What's new:

• Added support for Windows Server 2025 Terminal Server.
  Please see the article How to print from DOS on Terminal Server
  
  
• Definitely fixed the bug introduced by Microsoft on Terminal Servers (Windows 2016 and later) with its Cumulative Update 2021-12 that prevented the virtual printer "Printfil" from working correctly in some cases, forcing those users to create PDF files one at a time.
  Since Microsoft never fixed it, we modified Printfil itself to manage the virtual printer differently
  
  
• Enhanced compatibility with newer GhostPCL versions when printing legacy jobs in PCL mode with Windows 10 and later.
  If you are still using Windows 7 or earlier versions, which cannot support the newest GhostPCL versions, backward compatibility has been maintained up to GhostPCL 9.50.
  Please find more info and the download links in the manual, Chapter 5.3 - HP-PCL graphics printing engine
  
  
• Enhanced autoconfiguration of the 7 DOSBox variants supported by Printfil: DOSBox-X, DOSBox SVN Daum, DOSBox MegaBuild 6, vDosPlus, vDos, dbDOSv and dbDOS PRO
  
  
• When printing in GDI mode, if the source program doesn't correctly terminate the last line of the report with a CR-LF pair (CarriageReturn-LineFeed), now Printfil fixes the captured print automatically
  
  
• Some other minor improvements

If you're currently using a previous 5.x version, the previous license codes are still valid even for the new version. You just need to download and install the new Printfil setup program (or leave the AutoUpdate program doing it automatically) without uninstalling the current version first.

If instead you are still using a very old 4.3 version, purchased up to 23 Apr 2006, the license codes need to be upgraded to the 5.x version. Simply right-click the Printfil's trayed icon, choose "Search for updates" and the AutoUpdate program will guide you further.

If you've questions, comments, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to get back to me.

Kind regards,

Andrea Guolo
