You can open your own thread in the right category.
I doubt somebody will solve printer problems on a "Sound" forum board.

Read this it may help though applies to WP the concept would be the same with any DOS app under Win9x:
WordPerfect for DOS: Printing to USB or Networked Printer from Windows 95, 98, or Me

If all else fails, you can do this in a roundabout way by sharing the printer (as a network printer) with yourself, using NET to map an lpt port to it, and then printing to that lpt port from DOS.
