Dos2usb - Pace and Cap

socantra · 01-19-2011, 12:58 AM

For those still using the older DOS programs, there is a utility program called DOS2USB which seems to do a pretty nice job of capturing the parallel port and printing out on the newer USB printers.

I tried it with Validator 4 under both XP and Vista and it was pretty seamless with my cheap HP laser printer. There is a manual and it looks like a number of adjustments, but it printed with no problems on a simple install for me.

Web site is www.dos2usb.com and its a $20 utility that does have a free trial so you can see if it works for you.

I have used a program called Dosprn successfully for a long time.

Dos2USB - works perfectly! Easy, does just what it is supposed to do.
Thanks - MPH and Validator printouts work fine.
