Something is only a bug if what you are trying to do is natively
supported by the operating system and it doesn't work correctly. MS-DOS
has been dead for many years, has never been a part of an NT operating
system (NT, Win2k, XP, Vista), and is therefore not supported in Vista.
I don't work for Microsoft but I'm sure they aren't working on getting
DOS printing to be successful in Vista. If it is important to you, a
better solution would be for you to have a computer running Win9x just
for your program. However, it will get harder to find drivers for modern
hardware that support these very much older operating systems, so you
should consider replacing the application with something written for a
modern operating system.

Good luck,


Malke
