Add lpt1 port to the printer.
Go to Control Panel>printer>Right click the printer, select
properties, use the tab PORT and add lpt1 to your printer. You will
find something like DOT4-001 is checked for your USB port. Check the
square for LPT1; This should capture any program you send to the LPT1
port and send it to the USB printer.

As hard as it is to believe, a friend's company has an old DOS program
she
needs to run. We can't print (XP Home SP2) to the USB printer (Canon
I71)
from the app, and according to technote 259939 it looks impossible.
Anyone
have a getaround?
