Dear All,

I have using a DOS Based Program on Windows XP environment to do my office
work. That program using Parallel port to (LPT 1) get printout We are
using
EPSON and Lexmark Wide Carriage Dot Metric Printers. Now I have a Big
Problem I've changed the My PC to new IBM PC. All programs are working
fine.
But this Machine doesn't have a LPT (Parallel Port). All of my Printers
Support USB But My Program doesn't support USB. Anyone please help me to
connect my Dos Based Program to map LPT port.
Thanks in Advance.
CB


Try this:
- Share your existing printer, e.g. as "USB Printer"
- Type this command in a Command Prompt:
net use LPT1: "\\%ComputerName%\USB Printer"

By the way, cross-posting is a good thing but only when done in moderation.
Your question has nothing to do with firewalls, ipsec or basics - the other
newsgroups you used are more than adequate.

Oh, I don't know. I'd consider this problem/solution to be "basic" in
nature.
