Okay, I'm at kind of a loss here peoples. I'm trying to help a family member with their computer, and I managed to install a program from a floppy disk to a computer with a Windows 10 OS, via DOSBox. No problem, right? Wrong. Now she's got to be a able to print from the program. She has an older printer with a parallel port, which I hooked up, but it won't print because I can't get the printer and computer to talk to one another. I tried to manually install it, but that particular printer isn't on the list.
Well, I then moved on to a new printer, which she had already purchased, but no luck getting it to print either, I'm assuming because DOSBox and the printer aren't on speaking terms.
I'm attaching a screenshot of what this program looks like with options to print. As you can tell, you just enter a number to get it to work - rather primitive.
Would there possibly be any suggestions on how to get this thing to print what she needs?
Thank you muchly.
