Hi Don,
 DG> First off, how would I go about setting up redirection 
 DG> of LPT1 (on the OS/2 box) to the WFWG box's printer?
If your OS/2 system has LPT1 assigned to a local printer, then LPT1 is not 
able to be re-assigned to a network resource. If all your default LPT ports 
are used up (LPT1 - LPT3), you can create printer objects on LPT4 - LPT9 
ready for just this sort of function and provided your text mode apps allow 
for explicit device addressing (IE LPT4 - 9) then you should have no 
oblems.
The only thing you may have to do is "create" the extra LPT ports in OS/2. 
Here is a Rexx script that does this for you -
 --- cut here ---
/* Rexx LPTADD.CMD */
call rxfuncadd sysloadfuncs, rexxutil, sysloadfuncs
call sysloadfuncs
  Do n=4 to 9
    rx=SysIni('SYSTEM', 'PM_SPOOLER_PORT', 'LPT'n, ';'||'00'x)
    rx=SysIni('SYSTEM', 'PM_LPT'n,         'DESCRIPTION', 'LPT'||n||'00'x)
    rx=SysIni('SYSTEM', 'PM_LPT'n,         'INITIALIZATION', ';'||'00'x)
    rx=SysIni('SYSTEM', 'PM_LPT'n,         'PORTDRIVER', 'PARALLEL;'||'00'x)
    rx=SysIni('SYSTEM', 'PM_LPT'n,         'TERMINATION', ';'||'00'x)
    rx=SysIni('SYSTEM', 'PM_LPT'n,         'TIMEOUT', '45;'||'00'x)
  End
 --- cut here ---
You will also need to add LPT4.OS2 => LPT9.OS2 to the relevent part of the 
WIN.INI file in \os2\mdos\winos2 if you wish Windows to also have these ports 
available.

OS/2 text mode apps should not be a problem (at least theones I use all seem 
to work fine), however DOS apps are another matter. This all depends on the 
way the DOS app handles LPT ports. I have no trouble redirecting DOS command 
line output to LPT5 using >LPT5, but this may not apply to some DOS apps.

Sorry, never seen that message at all............pk.
