I am running a home network with 3 PC's & 3 network HP printers.
2 of the PC's have started to experience problems printing in that documents
sent do not print, they just sit in the print window (figuratively speaking).
There seems to be nothing wrong with the network as after ...

Is there a way to print from within a dos box under XP to a network printer
instead of the default LPTx ports.  Problem is that older dos applications by
default want to print to a LPT port and don't have the option to print to
something else.
