I’m not terribly techy, so forgive the verbage should I use it poorly, or fail to use it at all. My office uses MS-DOS based database program, Q&A. We just upgraded all our machines, which now run Windows 7. My old machine was running XP. I have a local printer only I use, a Brother Laserjet, USB connection. On XP, I could do the ‘net use’ thing from the cmd prompt and print out of Q&A on an LPT1 port… but with 7, it asks me for usernames & passwords which are always wrong even though they shouldn’t be and then I get a big fat ‘Access denied’… I’ve seen some software applications that are supposed to redirect, and heard about some converter that i can plug in to turn my USB connection into a parallel port, buuuuut, i’m skeptical. Anyone have a solution for this?
