thanks for the link it looks like what I need

Please note that if your application supports printing to a file named
LPT1 instead of directly to the physical port LPT1, is a much better
solution to your problem.


Please note that LPT1 is a reserved name in DOS and Windows and can
*not* be used for a file name. It has nothing to do with whether the
application supports it.
