Subject: LPT2 to Network Printer

I have a sco openserver 5.0.6
I have successfully setup a HP Jetdirect 175x print server, I can print to it just fine, I have a very old application, that only will print to serial ports or LPT ports.

There a way to output printjobs sent to a particular port, to the printer I setup that goes to the jetdirect print server?

Make a new spooler destination, we don't care about the serial port you
tell the config utility because we are not going to use it. Download netcat,
and search for articles about netcat on this site. That will get you going.

I'm not entirely sure what this is asking, but I think the answer is at
