Printing to shared NT4Wks printers

by pmjones . Updated 25 years, 10 months ago

We have a peer-to-peer network of NT4 workstations. One workstation has 2 parallel ports, LPT1 and LPT2.
LPT1 has a laser attached, LPT2 a dot-matrix.
We use a legacy DOS application, which runs fine under NT but is not network aware.
We need to run the DOS app on the workstations withOUT printers, and print from it to the shared printers on the other workstation.
How can we ‘redirect’ the LPT ports on the ones withOUT printers, so that all data sent to them goes to a shared printer?
