What do you mean "dos print job"?
Nenad Prekupec provided a rated reply to Ranjit Dutta on Wednesday, February 13, 2008 8:03 AM

Do you mean DOS console application inside Windows OS or just plain DOS somehow calling Windows print job?

To be able to play with interrupts and all that low level programing in DOS/BIOS you'll have to learn assembler for particular CPU you wan to support.
Without proper libraries (to link your application) I don't think you will be able to do something with VB 6.0.

I woudn't want to sound discouraging
Nenad Prekupec provided a rated reply to Ranjit Dutta on Wednesday, February 13, 2008 10:27 AM

but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it because you don't have driver for USB device under DOS (I have never heard for one), but maybe someone had written it already... try to search the net maybe you'll be able to find something, I would only suggest that you try to search c/c++ resources for that.

As for Windows application I think you could do something under windows as there is USB driver support, but mixing DOS application and Windows also could be a problem.

Augi Nokomodo provided a rated reply to Ranjit Dutta on Saturday, March 22, 2008 8:32 PM

There is a small utility which allows to DOS programs print to the any Windows printer and emulates drivers for matrix printer (Epson FX-80 and similar)

If you have any problems you can contact authors. They answer quickly.

You can download this program from http://www.dosprn.com
