Hi. I have an old software program (written in FoxPro) that automatically
prints to a dotmatrix printer on the parrallel port. I still need this
application and have moved it to a new computer that does not have a
parrallel port installed. Now whenever I try to print. The program tells me
that a printer is not installed.

What kind of work around do I have? I've tried to "add printers" and
configured them to use various ports (LPT, COM, PRINT TO FILE). But none of
them seem to work.

Any suggestions?
