Hi all guy´s. I have the USB drivers for the UMS´s devices, Di1000dd.sys and usbaspi.sys. Is there any driver to use a USB printer in pure DOS environment? Thanks in advance. Best regards

No hope as in plain DOS environment drivers for printers are not part of the operating system, but each application relies upon its own.
Drivers bound to devices and developed by manufacturers was one of the major improvements of the Windows family.
Anyway, if you can connect the laser printer to your DOS environment via a hardware or software adapter and the printer is NOT a Win (GDI) printer driven by Windows, you can control it using a legacy driver from your applications supporting probably PCL language.
