An example of a solution using the network side to solve a dos to usb
printer problem.
The printer must have a network queue, obviously!


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net use lpt1: \\ath4x\R300
/persistent:yes
The command completed successfully.

Dear Mr. Sukru,

you may want to have a look at Printfil, which allows characters based
applications (DOS too) to print to any Windows printer (including USB,
virtual, GDI, PDF, FAX etc.), with many extras like print preview, BMP
background merging, font selection, color etc.

More info and a free trial is available for download at our web site.
