In OS/2 1.0, a printer port could be redirected to a COM
port with

spool /d:lpt2 /o:com2

According to the on-line documentation, this should
also work in 1.2, but it doesn't.  I haven't had
much more luck with the PM print spooler configuration
menu, either.  Is it broken?

I can print with

copy/b file com2

But the spooler is nice, and this doesn't work in DOS mode.

Thanks for any hints on this.
