ms dos based programs do not print

[Danka]

Hi,

I use MS DOS based programs running under Win XP's command
prompt and they don't print. The printer (Epson LQ-300+)
is connected to the LPT1. I have tried to print to the USB
Port (HP deskjet 940c), but same thing - nothing comes
out, not even a message, the program acts as if the
printing task has been done, or it stops running - it gets
stuck, so it must be restarted.
Also, the MS Dos application does not work well at all (it
is unusually slow).

Please help!
