From: CB on 19 May 2010 03:31 Dear All, I have using a DOS Based Program on Windows XP environment to do my office work. That program using Parallel port to (LPT 1) get printout We are using EPSON and Lexmark Wide Carriage Dot Metric Printers. Now I have a Big Problem I've changed the My PC to new IBM PC. All programs are working fine. But this Machine doesn't have a LPT (Parallel Port). All of my Printers Support USB But My Program doesn't support USB. Anyone please help me to connect my Dos Based Program to map LPT port. Thanks in Advance. CB

Your question has nothing to do with firewalls, ipsec or basics - the other newsgroups you used are more than adequate.

You missed some other irrelevant newsgroups to crosspost.
