Printing from DOS progs. in Windows XP

Printing from DOS progs. in Windows XP
Sat, 12 Apr 2008 11:47:27 -040
Hi!
With Windows XP, SP2, older DOS programmes wont allow printing.
Dbase IV in particular. (Also QuickBasic)
I have seen several "solutions" to this problem, but not managed to
get any to work.
Is it possible to "set printer on" and use ? and ?? to send to
printer?
(Instead of writing to  a text file and printing out of dBASE)

Thanks,
george
