219199 2004-02-29 23:55:00 I'm using Windows XP Pro and have a Canon printer connected to a USB Virtual printer Port. Everthing works fine except I have and old DOS program that only likes to print to a LPT1 port. Is there any way of mapping the LPT1 port to the USB port? jeep (1673)

XP doesnt have DOS, only a DOS emulator. That could be an advantage in this case however, as "real DOS" has no knowledge of USB.
