Since USB came along after the obituary for DOS was written, it is not going to be easy (some would say impossible) for you to get your DOS applications to print to USB. In DOS, the application itself is responsible for managing its printer output, and most every DOS application is totally ignorant of USB. &nbsp;It is a push to expect those applications to be able to print to something they know nothing about. If it's plain text you are outputting, then you may be able to tell your application to redirect the output to a file instead of directly to the printer port. You could then go back to Windows and print the contents of the file. If the output consists of more than plain ASCII text (fancy escape codes) then forget it.

Usb is compartible with Usb?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
