These are mainly devices designed only for Windows operating system, multifunction devices, printers connected via USB port or printers not containing right code page. In many cases, printing from DOS may also complicate the sequencing of jobs to a print queue, which can lead to premature termination or garbling of print or to collapse of print job manager.
