We have an HP Laserjet hooked up on our PC Network (which is a serial printer) and it works fine. We just net share laser=com1. Then if I want to use the laser printer from my station, I just issue a net use lpt1 \\server\laser. My word processing normally prints to lpt1; hence the lpt1 in the net use command. Good Luck.
