printer port capture

I would like to capture ascii text being sent to a printer. I am using this as a last resort to extract data from an old system (Pick R83). Basically I would connect a windows machine to the printer port and the utility would allow me to dump whatever is sent to the printer into a text file of my choice. I am assuming that the system that is doing the printing does not matter. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.

Unfortunately, I am no longer in the country where this was to take place. In addition, early test indicated that the system was not responding correctly when anything else than a printer was connected to the port. On the other hand, I do have (and will add) a number of other bids out there that I am interested in completing especially the "Document Download" utilities. Feel free to bid on it.
