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

Several options:

1.- Return IBM PC and get one that have Parallel port.
2.- Get a parallel card adapter, like this one:

3.- Get a software re-director, like this one:

Note, software solutions may NOT work in all computers/applications.
