Printer problem

[Ladyflyer]

I have a system that is only compatible with a Dos printer can I get a connector to convert to usb printer

If you mean you have a system that only has a parallel printer port, then no, you cannot get an adapter to connect a USP printer to the port.

If you mean you have a system that only runs DOS, has USB ports, and you want to connect a USB printer, then yes, you can get a DOS driver to do that.

If you mean something else, then please provide more details.

It's a Bricon Club master for entering racing pigeon information and has to be printed through the master from the individual timer/clock
This is from the manual as I'm not sure what it means "A printer is necessary to print the basketing and clocking lists. You can use any DOS-compatible printer (with a language of PCL5 or 6) but please note that windows/USB printers are not compatible. Use a standard parallel printer cable to connect printer to the bricon club master."
If you wish to look at it you maybe able to view it from website www.bricon.be
Thanks

No, you will need to find a DOS compatible printer that supports PCL5 or 6, and can use a parallel cable. You may need to look for a used printer.
