I'm converting some workstations from Win98 to Win2K. These stations Still use a DOS application that requires we capture LPT1: sending it to an HP1200 on the (NT4.0) network. When installing printers There is no option to capture a MS-DOS printer port using the wizard and I can't find it using net print.
Thanks for the help

net use lpt1 \\your_print_server\printer_share /persistent:yes
(the persistent switch keeps the capture after reboot)

To remove the capture:
net use lpt1 /delete

Also don't use this command on workstation with an local attached share printer.
