For example, would I be able to use an HP Deskjet 950c ( > http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bpd07350&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=57835 > ) with FreeDOS? Thanks for the help, I don't believe FreeDOS *cares*. It simply passes the print stream to the port the printer is on. The printer sees an arbitrary stream of bytes that may be control code or printable text. If the application you are printing from uses PCL, and your printer supports it, things should work. The question is how the printer hooks up, and whether FreeDOS can see a device there. If the printer hooks up to a parallel or serial port, things should work. If it uses USB, a driver may be needed to establish communications and make the USB port look like a serial or parallel port.. > --- Kenny ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
