DOS and USB Printer

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I got a new machine and it does not have a parallel port. So I will need
to use a USB printer. The problem is I have an old MS-DOS program that I
need to use and get printouts from. Is there any way to redirect the
printer output to the USB port / printer?
Thanks,
Stan
