Allan,
Take a look at article 154498 in the Microsoft knowledge
base. It explains how to do it with the "net use" command.
I have been successful in the past with this method to get
old dos programs routed to inkjet printers. It has been a
while since I have done it but it works great. First share
the printer wherever it is, even if it is local. Then use
the following syntax:
net use lptx: \\printserver\sharename /persistent:yes
This command will stay in place utill you release it, even
if the machine is rebooted.
Good luck
ML

I am trying to capture printer ports LPT1 and LPT2 in
Windows 2000 for an old program that requires this. How do
you capture ports in Wondows 2000?
