Hello:

I have some C programs that I wrote back in the DOS days that sent 
information out to a DOS printer. These programs were written for DOS 6.2

Will the Windows 2000 O/S accept and carry out print commands from a DOS 
program that's running in the Win2000 DOS window? All I want it to do is print 
on a locally connected printer. 

I would just try it, but I don't have any Win2000 computers that are 
directly connected to a printer. I don't want to waste time with this if you folks 
know if Win2000 will honor a print job from a DOS application.
