I am using the Dos Box software (by the way is awesome) to run an old File Express 6 software for a customer. The actual software run fine but I cant get the software to print to a LPT Printer. This is a new Core I-5 machine that I added a pcix parallel port to. It prints fine from windows 7 64 bit but not from the dos software. Any ideas?

It's for games.

OK, so does Dosbox not work with printers? Can anyone recommend another emulation program that does work with Win 7 Pro 64 bit?
