Anyone know if it is possible to map a usb port to a standard LPT port? I
have a USB to parallel cable that installs as device USB001 but I would like
to change the port name to LPT2. The cable comes with a driver for W98 but
not for XP. The documentation says let XP auto-detect the cable. However,
the Windows API (CreateFile()) thinks USB001 is a filename.
