I can use my Dos-Program, it works, but it is not possible to print my lists over the lpt1-port. I use Windows XP.
Has anybody a solution for that problem ???

can't be done.
Dosbox is an emulator. There is no contact with the rest of your hardware

Errr... you could of course *emulate* LPT-access. It wouldn't be of much use for playing games, but "can't be done" is just untrue Qbix 😀.

I think Qbix is saying it can't be done as the emulator is currently compiled. I've considered adding printer support as this is a request that we get often. Before I get that posted, however, I have a few updates regarding other things in the hopper that are just about to be committed to the CVS.
