Dear Friends or any helper ,

I just bought a new HP PSC2210 which is ONLY USB connecting .

I still use some MS-DOS "old" programs, that NEED an LPT1 for printing.

So, how do I assign the USB to print as LPT1 .

I am using WinXP Pro ver.


Thank You,
 
Here is what I would try. Share the printer out and then
capture it with an lpt port from a command prompt. ie

Share the printer out as HP or some other name.
then:

<Start><run><cmd.exe>
type the following in the command prompt:

net use lpt1: \\{your_computername}\HP

This should work

| It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong
question.

The above statement is perfectly aproppriate for most of the answers
(now a days) in the MS newsgroups.
