printing from dos program

[Peter Berlin]

I have been printing to an hp 920 from a dos based program
on my xp professional system for 6 months without any trouble.
Just yesterday it stopped printing
all windows programs print just fine but I can't print from
the program or from the command prompt.

any ideas out there?

Try this: "How to Restore the Operating System to a Previous State in
Windows XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306084).

How is the printer connected? LPT1, USB or Network?
If USB or Network then you need to share the printer and then
apply LPT1 to it to use from DOS:

NET USE LPT1: \\pcname\printersharename
