We have a problem. We are doing a small project that has the schematics in Orcad V3.22 format. We can run Orcad V3.22 to view the schematics but we cannot print them as no parallel ports available and no parallel port printers either. We have tried quite a few methods to try to print the schematics but the schematics do not print properly. Included in our efforts have been DOS printer captures that supposedly will then print to Windows USB printers but not entirely successful. We have tried NET USE to redirect from LPT but again not entirely successful. We have a old plotter conversion program but only has parallel port printer drivers to LPT ports. We have searched for viewers but none found.
We downloaded and installed Orcad Capture Lite 17.2 and it runs just fine (Win7 computer). Copied and modified SDT.CFG to the folder with the sch files (changed directories). Included the list of all LIB files found during running DRAFT /C (shows configuration). But everytime I try to load an SCH file, Capture starts the translation and crashes immediately.
Really need to be able to either print the schematics directly or load and convert using Capture Lite. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
