Didn't get the job done.
DavidM6February 19, 2013
Pros
Can't think of any.
Cons
Tried this program to get a BJC80 to work on my laptop with only usb ports. OS is Windows XP Pro. Have proper printer to USB cable and though computer found printer, it would not communicate.
Summary
Should have tech come with this program.

Pros
My dubts about difficulties on configuring it in my previous review have been cleared out. The new wizards are amazing and I've had this upgrade for free! These guys provides an excellent professional service. They really listen at their customers.
Cons
No more. This is the best buy I've ever made.
Summary
I'm using it by some years to capture my DOS reports, print them on Windows printers, and send out them via e-mail as PDF attachments. The is the only product in this field with important features, like BMP forms merging, which are indispensable to send out real invoices that were printed on preprinted forms previously. Other features, like print preview, are cool and useful too, but I would use the product even without them. What I particularly like, is the service offered by this company. Before or after the purchase you always find someone ready to help you in a timely manner. They reply to support requests very fast, and their replies are always accurate and helpful. A must for professional users.
Excellent solution even though it's not the simpler to configure

Pros
There are some unique features which makes this product the best choice: print preview, BMP forms and automatic e-mailing of DOS jobs as PDF attachments are my favourite.
Cons
Some configurations could be made simpler in my opinion. I had to contact the support to have everything setup correctly, but they have been extremely fast and helpful. I can surely recommend this product.

Continual Pop-up Screen pest

Pros
None
Cons
It failed to work. This program set a pop-up message to my screen every 15 to 20 minutes asking me to purchase the product, when I was doing other things not related to printing. In recent memory I have not had this experience with any other "try before you buy" program. This hassling <p>makes it not worth the trouble to even try this product for one day--what less 30 days. Furthermore, this utility product is priced more than double what it should cost. In a short time, I have truly come <p>to hate this application. It was a relief <p>to uninstall it.
