Redirect LPT1 to COM4

[Bitman]

Is there anyway to redirect LPT1 to COM4?

I need this because now I'm using a USB
bluetooth adapter at desktop PC and a
Parallel Printer USB adapter to connet
wiressly my Epson FX1170 matrix printer,
and my bluetooth virtual print port is COM4
and I still need to use some DOS software
that only print at LPT port.

Thank in advance,

Try this. Share the printer. Add it as a network printer. Browse to the
printer and add it. You should receive a dialog that asks if you print from
MS-DOS based programs. Click Yes, then click Next and click the button that
says "Capture Printer Port". If you have no printer on LPT1, you could
capture that port but if your MS-DOS program can be configured to print to
any other LPT port, then choose another port that you don't actually have -
such as LPT2.

I can't do this. When I try to connect thru
the LAN, after select to capture, I receive
an error window that there is impossible to
connect LPT1 to \\(my computer)\FX1170
saying "This operation cannot be executed
in the present state of the impression
destiny".

I'm disturbed about this.
