I'm using NT 3.5.1 workstation. I don't have a printer attached to my
Pentium's printer port, but there are several printers on the network
that I can print on. The problem is: I have some old DOS programs
which print to LPT1. On other, more primitive networking systems
(like, oh, I don't know, hmmm, could it be, ummmm, NOVELL?!?!), I could
redirect things sent to LPT1 in a "command" window so that they
would print on the desired network printer. Anybody know how to do
this for NT?
