Printing to local Printer on LPT3

[Ben]

Ive got a client who is wanting to print to a local printer on LPT3, the
client says that she has been able to do it before but she has now moved the
printer, and it wont work. The box only has 1 physical printer port (LPT1)
how do you redirect it to LPT3 on a local printer???


Help needed ASAP!! thanks ppls.

OK so that changes it on the back end lets say, but what if i need to make a
the DOS app make it look at the name i.e LPT3 but its really LPT1. See the
DOS application grabs the name so if its still under LPT1 in the printer
settings it wont work. OR when you make this chnage, does the 'NAME' change
also.
