Neither of these have any effect: remember I'm doing this in a DOS
Command Prompt box under Lose'95.

LPT1 (and PRN) continue to point to the DeskJet, whilst LPT2 points over
the network to the LaserJet.  The larger program (1PR2.COM) reports that
it's swapped the BIOS pointers (and correctly swaps them back); however
the program's status enquiry consistently says "LPT1 Active" :-(
