While not a proper solution, you could try using the DOS MODE command;
I often use this to map LPT1 to a serial port; you may be able to map one
parallel port to another. If one's a netrwork drive you're probably out of
luck.

Another fix would be to run a program which captures LPTx output to a file,
then copy the file to LPT2. I expect you know the various ways that network
and single-user operating systems allow you to do this.

I don't get ...developers, so won't see any response unless emailed.
But I doubt I'd have anything to add.

Best wishes,
