Help!
  I'm trying to redirect printer output from LPT1: to COM2:, but am
  having no luck.  Running under MS-DOS 3.2, I enter:
           MODE COM2:1200,e,7,2,p
           MODE LPT1:=COM2:
  DOS responds saying COM2: is initialized, and LPT1: is redirected
  to COM2:, yet whenever anything is sent to LPT1:, a device error
  occurs (timeout error).  If I send directly to COM2: everything
  is hunky-dorey.  Any clues?  Am I cursed to never use anything that
  ASSUMES all printing is done off LPT1?  Shall I just go buy a new
  Bleeding printer?
