Using dBase III+ on a new laptop with only USP ports

| I have successfully been using a Clipper compiled dBase III+ program which contains 22 databases and 35 indexes of those databases. Now that my old laptop has gone south, the replacement laptop does not have a parallel printer port, just USP ports. How
do I code the top .prg program to recognize the printer connected to the USP port?
Thanks

| No Problem:
Go into your printer properties of the USB Printer that you want to use and check off "Printer Pooling". Make sure that BOTH the USB that is connected to the printer AS WELL AS the LPT1: are selected. In this way the computer is happy and the old LP
T1: calls are rerouted to the new printer port via a pool redirection.
Good Luck.
