Dos command print in USB printer

Mar 21, 2009

- fox pro is a dos based application. the net use command should work. Just in case my instructions were not clear enough. Here is a link to microsoft's instructions http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314499

Good Luck

- Also if you want to make sure the command was done correctly you can open a command window and type "net use" it should show your printer mapped to lpt1.

Also another way to test if the port is working correctly you can create a generic test.txt file in drive c:\ with some text like this is a test.

Then from a dos command window type the following command

print /d:lpt1 c:\test.txt


If it is done correctly your test doc will print.

- This might work

On the web you can find utilities that can capture Dos applications output and transform it to other format or spool it to Windows printers, like the following:

It isn't freeware, however a trial version is available for download for testing purposes.
