DOSBox Smart Database

[Jknep]

Hello, I need help running queries and printing from Smart Database Manager on DOSBOX and possibly also making copies of the records. It is running through Ubuntu Linux OS. I can locate individual records but would like to be able to run reports

The regular DOSBox is very unsuited to printing, and the developers refuse to support such a usecase. As such, there is no support for parallel or serial printers, and it cannot be added easily. Writing serial data to a file is not supported either, so you would need to set up a very elaborate and bespoke system to make it work at all, and only if your application supports serial printers.

However, there are forks (variations) of DOSBox, which have added printing support and many other features to the base DOSBox code. For example, the DOSBox-X project provides a guide on how to set up printing: https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/Guide:Setting-up-printing-in-DOSBox‐X.
