One of the MS XP NGs may be able to supply what you need. 2. The practical difference between DOS and Windows is that printing any DOS document requires either a formatter or printer selection within the app. What old DOS app are you using? -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

I imagine you could share the printer over the network and define lpt1: to use the network printer net use lpt1: \\My-Computer-name\MyPrintername If you don't know your computer name you can find out at the command line ipconfig /all. If you're feeling lazy and know the name of your shared printer net use lpt1: \\127.0.0.1\MyPrintername where 127.0.0.1 represents your self on the network (loopback). >From the pc persective, dos prints to the network printer. windows sees the print job request from the network and prints it. You'll have to type in that command each time unless you want it persistent... if so "/Persistent:Yes" tacked at the end.
