Printing from MS-DOS Programs
Windows can redirect print data from a parallel port on your PC
(e.g. LPT1) to a network printer. This redirection is called "Capture
Printer Port", and is useful for MS-DOS programs. The MS-DOS
program is configured to use LPT1 (parallel port 1 on the PC), but
Windows "captures" the print data and sends it to the network
printer.
Capture settings can be set by:
• Saying "Yes" to the prompt "Do you print from MS-DOS
programs?" when installing a Network Printer.
• OR, using the Capture Printer Port menu option shown in the
figure "Install SMB Printer" above.
This will result in a dialog like the following, where you can select
the port on the PC to be captured. Normally, this will be LPT1
(parallel port 1 on the PC).
