View Full Version : USB only printer

I have developed Dos based programs over the years and
have many customers. The programs can only send output to
a LPT or COMM port. People are now buying printers with
only a USB connection. Is there a command line command
that can direct the LPT info to the USB printer port. In
the past you could use the DOS "mode" command for
redirection. Though the command is still available, I
don't beleive it can be used to redirect LPT to USB.
Is there a GURU out there that can help me.
THANK YOU

Paul

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
