I kind of got lost on this thread because I couldn't tell if the person was
trying to print to a USB attached printer from DOS or a parallel port
attached printer from DOS.
In general, when I need to print from DOS I do the following:

Hi!
If your printer has USB, you could try a generic USB
"printer port" driver as long as the printer still
understands commands DOS apps can produce. Some just

can produce to some degree.

It has drivers for Parlel and Serial devices, plus pendrive.
