Cari,

Thanks for the suggestion but:

Well, I now know that my computer name is:
violin1.workgroup

and the printer nameis:
brother

so, I tried the following:

net use lpt1: \\violin1.workgroup\brother

but I get an "System Error 66". I also tried using lpt2 with, and without
the semicolon afterwards, but still getting this error.

Any advice?

I am currently running Windows XP SP1. There is an old DOS-based
program
that I still use for certain accounting activities. The problem is
that
my
printer on this machine (local) is now connected to an ETHERNET router.
The DOS-based program is still trying to print to LPT1.

Is there any way I can get a print-out with my setup? I need to
somehow
redirect the LPT1 output so it goes to my IP 192.168.0.11 (thats where
the
printer resides).

Any help would be appreciated!
