After you have clicked on Properties of the printer you use, and after checking Enable Printer Pooling, you make sure LPT1 AND your regular printer are selected. This should allow you to print in DOS to your regular printer (assuming that whatever does the printing does print to LPT1). As Rob implied, Microsoft seems to enjoy jerking DOS users around, so this information does not come up in their Help that I could find. --Quark
