    I'm still using a few of my old 20year? old Lotus Symphony spreadsheets (now discontinued) that would be very time consuming to convert to Excel. My new printer is USB but the old software only recognizes parallel port (ie LPT1) or Serial.

    Any way to print to the new printer?

    What happens when you try to open one of the files in Excel?

    I think there is a very recent thread about this same subject...Might want to look for it.
