redirecting LPT3 output

by 115147.455 . Updated 25 years, 5 months ago

In our situation here we have some legacy software running on windows 3.1 .The software was originally written for all post script printing to be done off of LPT3 and sent to a network printer which has worked fine for the last ten years. Now we wish to hang some postscript printers off of LPT1 and print to these instead. However, the code references more than 40 different places where LPT3 is printed to for postscript printing. How can I redirect printing such that all printing to LPT3 comes out on LPT1 without scouring a bunch of outdated source code (Clipper and DBIV) and without buying LPT3 cards?

Thanks,
Paul J. Karlok
