>>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)?

Would like to avoid having to buy a printer server (jet direct) for local printing. :-)

We are doing it via the Win95 interface "Add printer". So I assume behind the scenes that the above command is being used.
