Please direct me to a different newsgroup (comp.pc.??) if this isn't the place for this Q. I'm using a DOS program that expects to print directly to a dinky parallel printer of some sort. The computer is on a Novell network with an HPIIIsi in PS mode, so I can't print anything. What I would like to do is redirect the output (from lpt1 or lpt2) to a file so I could use some other utility to print it to the HPIIIsi or transport by floppy to some other place. Tech support at the software place thought there was a utility something like "lprx" or "lpxr" to do this. archie inundated me with lpr* items. Does anybody out there know _where_ to get the _right_ thing? Any other suggested solutions to this problem? Switching the HP to something other than PS is out (the secretaries would kill me). Thanks in advance. sommer@binah.cc.brandeis.edu
