Trying to help a friend who needs a LPT printer, I have found him a Samsung Laser printer but am having problems getting it to print.

He runs a video hire business that is run by a DOS program.

Ive tried to print the autoexec.bat to the LPT PORT but nothing happens (type autoexec.bat>lpt1)

? is it possable to print to any printer with a parallel port from DOS ?

? Do i have to setup the port ?

? If so How ??

You need to have printer that can use the DOS output from that program. A parallel port is not proof POSITIVE that you can. You can redirect output to an LPT port from a command line, but that is NOT the same thing as using the DOS printer driver in that program, no doubt. What MODEL Samsung is this? We can find out soon enough.Quote
