Capture LPT port for Dos printing

P

Paul

Background:
Peer to Peer network. PCs have printers installed on PCs
directly for printing from DOS program. No server in
network. Moving printers to another location, adding HP
Jet Directs for printing. PCs run Windows 98, 2000, and
XP Pro and Home.

Problem:
How does one get DOS printing to work without a captured
LPT port? Plus how can you get it to work when there is
not printserver? Is there IP printing for DOS? Would I
make 1 PC a print server?

Thanks
