In settings.dfl, you have a separate line entry for each printer which you
want to define.

I don't have a printers.lst on my xydos 4.018, so I'm not sure what it is.
You need a .prn file for each printer, and then you define each in the PP
section of settings.dfl. Here's what mine looks like:

;.........................................................................
;   Printer Data
;.........................................................................
;	Pick Printer table (PP:n = number of entries in table)
PP:5
LPT1	D:\XY4\HP4_PS_H.PRN      HPLJ4 PostScript
LPT1	D:\XY4\HPLJ-4.PRN          HP LaserJet 4 (PCL5 Mode)
LPT1	D:\XY4\BJC-50.PRN          Canon BJC-50 Portable
LPT1	D:\XY4\ASCII.PRN            ASCII
LPT1	D:\XY4\STRIP.PRN           STRIP

I think you'll need to somehow associate LPT1 with the USB printer. One
way to do this might be to give the printer a UNC (network) name, and then
use the NET USE command to direct LPT1 to that device. (That's how I get
Xy to print to a network printer, even though Xy is not network aware.)
