Printing DOS Program in XP???

I have a favorite old DOS address book program that was written for DOS. My new Minolta laser printer won't print using this program... They say it isn't a DOS printer. Is there any way to get the printer to work??
Thanks, Don

If that program can save your address book as a text file or CSV file then you can print it using XP.

Can you open it in Note or Wordpad?

Me thinks its time to upgrade address book. That or you'll have to purchase another printer.
