Many Printers
Is there any way to get DOS to be able to control 10 printers?

Normally DOS support 3 LPT ports.
LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3
But the problem is not the ports, but the software,
95% of DOS software print directly to LPT1.
So ...
if you have a netware, simply create a batch file so, before running the program will capture the port
Exmple:
NET USE LPT1: \\machine\prnshare /YES
your program

don't forget to remove this usage...
because it can collide with other programs.
P.s. there is a Special DIGIBOARD (A port Multiplexer) that can do it.
I don't know where to find it (I saw it 7 Years ago).
