 How do, Jean?

Now THAT'S interesting! I think there's a LPT1, LPT2, ... Option, isn't
there? It stands to reason though, that DOS was supplanted by Windows by
the time USB was even introduced, so M$ didn't include legacy support as a
matter of route.

I guess you couldn't answer the "Printer is offline. Retry printing to
port? Y/N" dialog with a no? (Don't quote me on my quotes though. :-)
