   EV> TW> As a side note becauew one of the wifes old program's will only   
   EV> TW> recognizes LPT ports   
   EV> TW> I searched around and found out I can Simulate an LPT port in   
   EV> TW> XP by using the following steps:   
      
   EV> TW> Do a "Right Mouse" Click on the Printers Name   
   EV> TW> Choose "Properties"   
   EV> TW> Click on hte "Ports" tab   
   EV> TW> Rembember the USB port name   
   EV> TW> Click on "Enable Printer Pooling" and check the box   
   EV> TW> Scroll through the listed ports and click on "LPT1" port   
   EV> TW> Click on "Apply" and "Ok"   
      
   EV>That sounds easier to do than the method Jeff Guerdat said for me to do   
   EV>to allow SLMR to print to a USB printer.   
      
   EV>I have a Batch File that uses a NET USE command to do what You helped   
   EV>Your wife to do to print with her new printer.   
      
   EV>At the end of the NET USE line in the .BAT file is "persistant:yes" so   
   EV>to keep that setting remembered so I don't have to run the .BAT every   
   EV>time I wanted to print a message I read in SLMR while I was using it.   
   EV>73   
      
   As a side note on what I suggested it only works on the host computer if   
   one is using a Network printer.
