Just do the following - works on my machine (dos 3.1)....


MODE LPT1:,132 (or what ever size your's is.
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P (what ever speed or port)
MODE LPT2:=COM1: (the death blow).

Now you have logical printer ports!  you can pick up some PD software
to help spool information on each.  Have fun.  (Also you can get
print.exe to do it for you too..)
