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? To clarify, if needed: the program will print to lpt1 or lpt2. I want to assign lpt1 or lpt2 to be a file, exit the program and print to the HP using some other utility transport by floppy to a computer at another location that has a dot-matrix printer. Other suggestions to solve this problem would be appreciated. I'd appreciate direct e-mail since I don't usually follow this group. Thanks in advance. sommer@binah.cc.brandeis.edu
