LPT port capture with Windows XP

by lsohay . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

Can anyone help me with my problem?
I have a small, semi complex network (NOVELL 5 –IPX/SPX and WINDOWS peer to peer IP) servers and a T1 Frame Relay (STATIC IP)
I just received two DELL Laptops with WINDOWS XP operating system. My clientswho are going to use the computers are, still using some old DOS programs. Those DOS programs can print only to LPT1 printer port – (No print to file option is available). In the current setup they are printing to a shared printer (peer to peer network). What I must do in (Windows-98) is: go to Network Neighborhood, select the printer sharing computer, right-click on the printer, click on “Capture Printer Port” and select the port (LPT1 or LPT2 …) WINDOWS XP doesn’t have this option. Please help. Thanx!
