This driver allows a DOS session to print to an LPT port that has been redirected (or captured) to a network printer.
DEVICE=x:\LPTOOL\LPTDD.SYS
Parameter:
- -T:ss - Specifying the timeout value on send/receive (default 10 seconds). If using slow media (diskette), or when LPTool is used on a very busy system, increase this for reliable operation.
- -P:n - Specifying the LPT port-address to use (default is 1 for using 0378). Use LPTDD.CMD to define the correct n.

TIP: Together with e.g. the great FileCommander/2 by Brian Havard create a user menu entry that sends the current directory to the connected Computer for an easy use.
Example:
S: Copy to Remote via parallel port D:\TOOLS\LPTOOL\LPTOOL send
