Re: Vista network printing with MS Dos program

Printer not ready
BUT...
I have a solution
I connect a IEEE 1284 cable to my HP 2430dtn and... no more problem, i can
print with Dbase3 and Clipper program. The good thing is, i let the network
connection on the printer and i can use the network connection with Vista
and others XP computers. I just need to print DOS program on one computer.
