I have an old DOS based program that only recognizes an
LPT port and I want to print using a USB printer on the
local machine. How do I use the "netuse" command
to "map" a USB printer so that the DOS program recognizes
it as printing to LPT1? I will need syntax and location
of the command. Thank you! rick
