Is it really hard to convert from NV DOS to NV Windows Its the middle of end-of the year time, and I. IвЂ™m just a small consulting firm, and too old to learn another program. I really hate to buy the NV windows program. The above steps essentially trick Windows to act as if the USB/Ethernet printer is connected to LPT1. I donвЂ™t know what happened to the DOS2USB program. There you go! You should now be able to print from your legacy DOS/Windows 95 & 98 programs to your USB/Network printer Note: You should now have both LPT1 and your default printer port (from step 5) selected be sure that the box is checked.Д§) Scroll up and/or down through all of your listed ports and click the вЂњLPT1вЂќ port to place a checkmark in it. If you want to enable printing to an USB or Network Printer for these legacy DOS or Windows 95 & 98 programs, follow these steps:ДЎ) First, make sure you can print from within Windows to the desired printer, by printing a test page.ДЄll of your printers should be listed, including the printer you want to set up for DOS printing.ДЈ) Right-Click on the name of the printer that you want to set up for DOS printing and choose вЂњPropertiesвЂќ from the pop-up context menu.Д¤) Click on the вЂњPortsвЂќ Tab at the top of the Printer Properties Window.ДҐ) Make a note of the exact name of your current printer port.Д¦) Select the вЂњEnable Printer PoolingвЂќ checkbox. This is because legacy DOS or Windows 95 & 98 programs expect your printer to be connected to a LPT1 port, which is usually not the case anymore nowadays. That's for another post.Have you ever faced the problem where a legacy DOS or Windows 95 & 98 runs perfectly on Windows XP/Vista/7/8, with or without compatibility mode, but refuses to print?

#Buy dos2usb software

I thought about trying it under the XP running on Win4Lin, but it was going to cost me another ten bucks, and I have other issues with the DOS software running the way it is. Under Windows XP, I had this software (dos2usb) that did this and it only cost ten bucks. What I was looking for was either some software utility or some script that would 'listen' for output to a nonexistent LPT1 and, upon finding it, redirect it to the USB printer.

My workaround is a combination of PDF printing and printing to a text file. I bought a parallel port and a different printer to solve the problem, and that won't even totally fix things. I'm going to mark this as solved however, it's only partially solved. I tried Wine and Crossover Office, to no avail.

#Buy dos2usb install

Yay!!! (or with Wine as in the case of my ancient Quicken 1999))ДЇWIW, Win4Lin was the only thing I found that would read the install disk and install my ***super-picky*** tax software. (And everything else I do can be done under Linux somehow / someway. The old DOS software will print to a text file, but there are other problems. LUCKILY, the tax return software has a PDF option and it's working fine. but Win4Lin still doesn't like my printer too much. What with Christmas and New Years, I haven't gotten back around to futzing around with stuff. I went out and bought a new laser printer with a parallel port. I've tried kinda running it under Win4Lin with the Windows install (which creates, I guess, the right pif file for the old DOS).ДЄs I've learned, to my chagrin, Win4Lin doesn't always play well with USB devices. and this isn't Linux or Ubuntu software-it's DOS software. What program are you trying to get to work?Aha! Good question! As Donkyhotay noted, a USB printer works fine and dandy for Linux. Thanks, one and all, in advance, for your assistance!!! Would DOSBOX be better? Is it do-able with WINE? Surely someone can guide me down the best path. Is there a better way to run a DOS program than through Win4Lin? I get a really small DOS screen, which is probably something I can fix somehow with resolution. Is there a way to make Linux recognize output that is trying to go to LPT1 and just redirect it to the USB printer? Would that work for a DOS program being run under Win4Lin?Дў. It doesn't seem to work well with Win4Lin. On the Windows box i used a piece of software called DOS2USB. I could probably get a card for parallel, but that's a 50 buck expense.

The software is currently runnable under Win4Lin, and I'm running it there to see how it works. I don't want to exchange it for something else that I don't know.Д«TW, this is on a NEW computer that is sitting next to my old Windows box until all the kinks are ironed out.

It's an old accounting package that is absolutely bulletproof, and I know it inside and out. I have some old DOS software that is indispensible. (Actually it's Kubuntu with Gnome to take advvantage of KPowerSave). I am slowly but surely converting over to Linux, using Ubuntu.
