This office currently has three machines that have xp
installed. we purchased a new printer(hp desk jet 5150)
i was selected to set the printer up so we could all use
it.

Problem i have is the most important program we use is in
dos and i cannot figure out how to set xp up to allow dos
based programs to print to this printer?? please? anyone.
Thank you so much in advance.

Accordingly to the HP website:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/ho/WF06b/18972-236251-236261-14438-f25-
304430-304432-304433.html?jumpid=oc_R1002_USENC-001_HP%20Deskjet%205150%20co
lor%20inkjet%20printer
the 5150 has PCL3 built in (so, suggestions on Bruce Sanderson's article at
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/printfromdos.htm should work), but the HP
web page says also "does not support MS-DOS".

Please, let us know if Sanderson's article works for you.
