My printer is an old PCL 6 command language printer.
Just send it a simple PCL string and it will do anything
I want. New win printers have all their smarts removed
and placed in a windows file. Windows now does
what the inner works of the printer use to do. It
forces you to use windows.

It is not a virus - it is a utility to kill uncooperative TSRs or EXE files

On USB with DOS, I can read and write a USB stick with FAT32 file system, but
it is treated as a fixed disk. USB stick must be in the port to be recognized,
and if I remove and replace a USB stick, the new one won't be recognized. This
is through the BIOS/UEFI rather than an add-on DOS driver.

What happened with the USBDRIVE set that was on the first FreeDOS 1.1 CD?
These worked fairly well for me, but I did experience more hanging that
with the ASPI driver.
Personally, I hate using ASPI drivers, but for one drive at a time, these
are perfect.

I use these drivers, working on 2 "modern" machines w/o floppy drives
downloading files, and 4 vintage laptops with usb 1.1 , transferring files

Works on both FAT16 and FAT32 but not on Compaq DOS 3.31 (need 4.0 or
