Some people when running the older DOS based programs may have problems printing when their printer is connected via a USB port. From what I gather DOS does not understand USB so it may not print properly or at all.

If your printer also has a parallel connection consider using that instead of USB. Since many of the newer printers only have USB connections you may have to resort to a special utility that can print DOS via USB. One that seems popular is DOS2USB. Here is the link.
