There is a program on the boards called LPTX.COM (LPTX700.ARC, I think)
that does this.  Works great.  Should be on simtel, if not, I can email
a copy.  Actually, what it does is vector all printing to a file (as
does PRN2FILE).  To get a screen dump, you of course still have to hit
the key (or do an INT 5)
