Hi, does anyone know how to send printer output to a USB
port from FoxPro2.6 for DOS?
Thanks for help,
Steve G

I think that if you set up the printer as a dos printer (there must be an option in the printer settings applet), that you'll be
able to use it in DOS. You/Windows have to create a LPT port for it.

Steve,
I doubt you can - the software and the hardware are from two different
"generations".

IBM Makes a USB to Parallel Printer cable, We use this on a NetVista (no
parallel ports). It works with Windows and DOS programs, especially
ones that must print to LPT1.
