SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to print to locally-connected LPT2 or LPT3 from some MS-
DOS-based applications on a virtual DOS machine (VDM), the print job may
actually print to LPT1.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
