I'm using an old dos based program that prints to LPT1: or LPT2: The program
is a database manager and was custom written many years ago. The source code
is no longer available nor is the programmer who wrote it. I'm running
Win98SE using a Lexmark Z51 Printer connected to a USB Hub.
I cannot figure any way to get this program to print directly to this
printer. The program will output reports to a *.PRN file but I can't figure
out how to get that to print either. I can open the *.PRN files in Excel and
then print but this takes a lot of removing of control characters and column
headings.

Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe Trimarchi
