 MR> MODE LPT1:=COM2:

  I can see how this might happen if I were to be running a program I
  had written or a batch file in a DOS window emulation.   However, How
  would I do that for BlueWave.  Printer Configuration for BW allows
  only for the choices of LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3.

  If I open up a DOS window, it will accept a statement of MODE
  LPT1:=COM1, but it will not accept a statement of MODE LPT1:=DOT4_001
  so I'm still stuck with not knowing what to do in order to get Bwave
  to send its prints to the network printer.
