how to have a dos application print to a network printer?

Is there a way to print from within a dos box under XP to a network printer
instead of the default LPTx ports. Problem is that older dos applications by
default want to print to a LPT port and don't have the option to print to
something else.
So I'm looking for a work around solution to get rid of directly attached
printers.

any help would be very welcome
