This is becoming more and more of a problem - especially in industry
that is still running equipment from 5 + years ago - there is a lot of
software which still relies on DOS and although programs like Printfil
can help (if your program will work within a DOS window under Windows)
there is still quite a bit of equipment which does not run Windows and
relies on a DOS compatible printer connected to a parallel or serial
port.
A lot of printers (even if they have a parallel port) are not DOS
compatible as they cannot handle plain text sent to them directly.
An easy way to check if a printer is DOS compatible (presuming that it
is connected to LPT1 is to open a DOS window and enter the command DIR
C:>LPT1.

Thanks
The only new inkjet printer on the market that still has a parallel
port is the C88. I believe a few of the more expensive laser printers
also have one, but not many of them.
I do not know if the C88 is DOS compatible.
