Any version of TinyTERM or TERM for Windows can use a Windows-only printer, provided the driver is installed. As with USB printers, the specifics depend on which version of TinyTERM you have.

TinyTERM 3.x and earlier, also
Any version of TERM for Windows
The specified printer must be the Windows default printer. Set TinyTERM to use PRINTMNGR as its printing device. TinyTERM will then send all printer output to that printer.

TinyTERM 4.00 – 4.12
Select the “To Windows Printer” option in TinyTERM’s Printer Setup dialog. Then click the Setup button to choose the Windows printer.

TinyTERM 4.13 and newer
Select the “To Windows Printer” option in TinyTERM’s Printer Setup dialog. Use the drop-down list to select the desired printer. Do not set the “Use printer fonts” or “Bypass printer driver” option.

Unlike USB printers, there may be a hardware port such as LPT1: associated with a Windows-only printer. However, Windows-only printers require a Windows printer driver to function at all. Bypassing the printer driver will usually cause all print jobs to be lost.
