which is being run from win2k workstations - from the dos
based program, the printer won't work but from excel,
word... it works fine.

If the DOS-based printer is looking for an LPT port to print to you may need
to connect your network printers like this:

net use lpt<x>: \\ServerName\ShareName

Replace <x> with a valid printer port number for the application (some may
only go as high as LPT3) and \\ServerName\ShareName with the path to the
network printer.
