My 5150 has an IBM Printer Adapter or an IBM Monochrome Display and Printer Adapter. I tried connecting it to a modern multi-function device (Brother MFC-8460N) using a standard parallel cable. I hit Ctrl + Prn Sc in IBM PC-DOS 2.0 and the Status light of the printing device kept blinking but nothing ever printed. I know that it is possible to use an old printer like the IBM ProPrinter with Windows XP, but is the reverse possible?
