Printing from an ms-dos program
I bought a new laser printer and am unable to print from the ms-dos program.
This program is so old it doesn't recognize the USB port. Short of getting a new program, is there another way to enable the USB port?

Re: Printing from an ms-dos program
If this MS-DOS program is running in Windows, I think there is a solution.
1. Install the printer in the Windows Printer and Faxes Folder. 2. Share the printer. 3. Redirect LPT1 to that share. To permanently redirect LPT1, you need to use this command... NET USE LPT1 \\server\share /PERMANENT:YES .... where "server" is the name of your machine and "share" is the name if the printer when you shared it. 4. Configure the MS-DOS program to print to LPT1.

In the port setup of the driver, check "Enable printer pooling" and then check the LPT1-port as well as the already checked USB-port. Please note that if the printer is one of the "cheap" Windows-printers (aka GDI-printers), it won't understand the print-data from an old DOS-program. /klaus
