Used to be able to send the directory list using DOS command like DIR
LPT1:
Click to expand...
How do you now send a directory list to the printer?? The printer is
on a USB port and named HP750 and the port says it is DOT... Tried
using DIR > HP750 and DIR > DOT... but no luck. Anybody know how to
list the directory to the printer??

Assuming you are using WinXP.
In the port setup, check "Enable Printer pooling" and then check LPT1
in addition to the "real" port.
This allows DOS-programs to print to a USB-printer via LPT1.
