I don't know how your DOS programs internally works, but you may try to
download the free Printfil trial you can find at
http://www.printfil.com/edown.htm

After installing it on your machine, please have a look at the manual
(Start->All Programs->Printfil->Manual) in order to capture the LPT1 output
(I suppose your DOS program is printing to this port) and forward the jobs
in RAW mode to the Windows printer (even if it's still connected to the same
port - LPT1

I'm guessing the PBF program controls the barcode printing and it sounds
like it isn't being run. Can you open a DOS prompt, start PBS and then TKS?

I did try to start the PBF myself and start the TKS, but still did not
working. Also I tried the software, which Davide asked me to install but
still doesn't work. Can anyone know of any solution? How can I set the PBF
pre-run it before starting the windows?

Thank you!

have you configured to capture the LPT1 output and print in RAW mode as I
suggested ?
If so, please write us by the "Help->Contact Support" Printfil's menu entry,
after running a print job of yours through Printfil, so that we can check
your local settings.

right click the Printfil's trayed icon, in the lower right corner, near the
clock.
You'll see the Printfil's menu appearing with different options, including
"Help->Contact Support" , "Help->Manual" and "Configuration".
