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.

Create a network share for the printer (This can be done even if your
PC is the only member of its workgroup), and then use the Net Use command
to redirect the DOS output. For example:

NET USE LPT1 \\ComputerName\PrinterShareName /PERSISTENT:YES
