Create a print driver port and map to lpr

Post by hugleo »

Hello,

I'm have a remote printer installed in the cups. I shared the printer and it prints OK using the wine notepad.
But I have a old application that prints only if have direct access to a lpt1 named port.
We can test executing the program wine start.exe and run the command:
echo 'test' > lpt1 that returns:
File not found
I tried to create the rule [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Printing\Spooler]
"LPT1:"="|lpr"
But echo 'test' > lpt1 still returns File not found
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a LPT1: port and echoing to lpr
Does anyone know if it is possible?
