[Ham-Computers] Using USB printer for DOS program??

[Philip Atchley]

Hi George et al
Yes, I can go that route.  Only problem, when I passed my DM printer on to a
friend I also passed him the Parallel cable thinking that everything on the
USB was hunky dory.  And no, no cables came with the new printer so I had to
buy the USB cable.   If I'd have known I'd have just kept the Parallel cable
but the Epson box said that USB was their recommended cable of "choice".
