I have a Lexmark T630 printer. It only uses a USB port.
My program run in dos. It will not print as I cannot
capture the usb port to print out my dos program. When I
use a parallel port, it prints. I have no access to a
parallel port now, I can only use a usb port. Please
help.

OK. You described the situation quite well. As far as I am aware, you have
three choices: get a printer that uses a parallel port; change software to a
windows version so you can use the printer on the USB port; try a program
such as DOSPRN.

I can make no comment on its abilities since I know only that it is said to
do what you want.
