We have an old MS DOS based prgram, that prints to LPT1 that too only on Dot Matrix Printers (DMP). &nbsp;Now the problem is that our DMP is installed on one computer and others are configured to share and print on that printer. Earlier we were using Windows 98 and by capturing the printer port (LPT1) for shared printer, we were printing from that program. However, now in Windows XP we could not find any other way out?

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
