I have a legacy program that will only print to an LPT or COM port. My problem is that the printer I am my client is using is USB. Does anyone know of a way to map a USB to LPT port???

not sure about the mapping, but maybe using hardware will get the same result with one of these parallel to usb adapters.

What he was referring to was an adapter that you plug the USB cable from the printer into which then plugs into the parallel port on the PC. Like a ps2 to serial adapter for mice.
