I have a very unique problem which I hope someone can help me with. My father owns a small business and asked me to ssetup and administer a small LAN (3 PC's so far). There are three different printer on the network. From a DOS environment I can print to any of the three printers using the network software. (The software in question is Novell Netware Lite, this software does not come highly recommended but that is another discussion.) The problem I have is with accounting software they use (Peachtree). I can use the nework to redirect a print-job from an imaginary LPT3 port to any of the network printers. However, when I try to install a printer in Peachtree on LPT3, IT CHECKS THE CONFIGURATION AND TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO LPT3. We have already purchased a second I/O card for each machine to be able to use 2 printers. Does any body know if we can add a third LPT without duplicating IRQ's or wouldn't this matter since the network is just going to redirect the print-job. Any input on this matter is GREATLY appreciated (either a post or E-MAIL) Dave
