Virtual LPT1: Port

Comment:

Just bought a a notebook and it came with no lpt1 port. I have a needed DOS program that needs to print to lpt1 port. Can I just re-direct with net use to a network printer or is thier a way to create a virtual lpt1: and then redirect to a network printer?

I was going to tell you a real hard way but try this. "NET USE LPT1: \\MY_SERVER\PRINTER"
