I hava an application that prints plain text alarms to a printer. I need

to capture these alarms and send them to a port on another system. I
have the socket communications working ( I can send messages to the
remote system from the command line) but I can not figure out how to
capture the data.  This application (Running on windows NT) can only
communicate these alarms by printing them. I'm hoping i can print them
to an LPT port and capture them there. Any Ideas would greatly be
appreciated.
