Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
