How to redirect printers ?

[Luis]

I use a stand-alone computer with XP. I hv an old dos
program that prints to PRN.
I works ok if I hv a paralel LPT1 printer connected.
But I need to reform that printer and use another one,
that is USB.
How cAn I redirect PRN to USB001 ?

The "help & support center" says a way(changing ports in
the printers properties), but it does not work.
Also tried NET USE but I dont know the sharename.
Also enabling printer pooling with both USB and LPT1 does
not work. The queue appears in the spooler, then it just
says "deleting".

Any help ? Pls...
Thks a lot
