Windows does not easily support USB printers from DOS or 16-bit applications. We are assuming your printer will work from DOS
and is not purely a Windows-based printer.
You may be able to set the printer as shared, then use the NET USE commands to access it. Try this:
1) Install the printer as shared in Windows
2) Note your PC name (try NET CONFIG WORKSTATION at the DOS prompt)
3) Go to the cmd prompt and type this:
NET USE LPT1: \\SERVERNAME\PRINTERNAME /PERSISTENT:YES
Where "servername" is the name of the workstation (1), and "printername" is the name under which you shared the printer.
4) If the command 3) above is successful, then go back to "settings/printers" and add a new LOCAL printer instead of a NETWORK one.
5) If for any reason the command (3) fails in associate the printer with the desired port, delete first any association with LPTn using this command:
NET USE LPTn /DELETE
Then retry step (3).
6) at the DOS prompt
echo Ctrl-L ] lpt1
Ctrl-L is keyed on the keyboard and appears as
echo ^L ] lpt1
once entered - this is a fast and easy way to test the printer connection. This command should eject a single sheet of paper.

What version of Windows are you running? Many of the DeskJet USB printers will not run under Win95b+ even with USB support added. I'm not sure about NT.

You may be able to change your HP 840C printer to work from the parallel port Open Insight will then be able to use it.
