I have a dos program running under dosemu, it has hundred of reports
that print to lpt2. dosemu will redirect a port to a network printer. It
has an lpt1 port and my program will print to the network printer if I
send it to lpt1. I have my reasons but I do not want to change all the
reports to print to lpt1 and I do not want to install lpt2 cards in all
of the desktops. I also believe I could print to a file and run a
spooler, but again I would have to change all of the report to print to
a file instead of lpt2.
