The Computerized Wrestling Program (CWP) developed
in 1984 was designed to print on parallel printers directly connected to the LPT1: printer
port of the computer. While technology evolved to computers and printers that are USB or
network enabled, CWP users were limited to older computers with parallel
printer ports and HP/DOS/PCL6 compatible printers. In October 2009
everything changed! CWP programs now run in any Windows
environment (including Vista and Windows 7) and print to any Windows
printer (USB, Network, wireless, or LPT1:)! The CWP programs are fully integrated with a DOS Capture program called Printfil! Please read below! We found a program called Printfil which will capture one or more parallel port (even from LPT1: to LPT9: simultaneously), and redirect your DOS print jobs to any Windows printer, including USB, GDI, IP network printers, fax printers and PDF writers, even if a printer is physically connected to the captured port or no LPT ports are physically installed, on any machine running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, 2008. The current version of Printfil 5.9 and was released on September 29, 2009. The company is from Italy, but they have been easy to deal with. Their pricing is in Euros (currently 1 Euro is approximately $1.40 US) and they offer quantity discounts.
