To print from the command line, use the lp command.

And moreover a legacy program is printing to a device lpt1, had the port existed & been connected/redirected to some printer....it would have printed.
Problem here is that there is no connection between the print output of the software and the lpd/lpr/cups/smb device. The software is NOT modified to recognize the lpr/cups device and therefore is printing to a lpt1 port, as all DOS legacy programs do. What I need to do is somehow capture the output to the lpt1 device & redirect it to the printer setup on linux.
Is it possible to create a directory named lpt1 in /dev and make it behave like a device (whatever behaving like a device is), so that the program output written to it can be redirected to the the linux printer?
With best regards.
