>We have a networked DOS app that insists on using LPT1 for printing to a networked Netware printer. We would like to attach a local printer to the printer port. How can we fake out Win95 to use the local printer port as another LPT (for instance #2)?

You could get yourself a Print server and setup a port on that system. I suppose now you're going to say you knew that and I should re-read your questions. :)

Are you using the "NET USE LPT1 \\ComputerName\Share" to map a printer for your DOS app now?
Thanks
