Hi,
I have some serial slip printers, but my DOS based point of sale only supports LPT. Using dos, I was able to use the map command to map the printers to an lpt port. I have not been able to do this in windows (NT4). Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
 
Try setting up serial printer with 'sahre' and using 'net use' to route lpt to share name.
 
Sorry that I haven't got back to thank you sooner. Works a treat.
