    Printing from an Old Application Problem - Need Help

    I have an old MS DOS application which runs fine under Vista with one
    exception.



    How can I capture or redirect LPT1?
    Does "Net Use" work in Vista?

    Thanks for your input

    net use LPT1 will work only for admin. Setup the mapping in an elevated
    command window.
