I can use an emulated LPT port to a shared network printer from Cygwin but
I'd like to print to a local LPT port also.

The local printer has no IP address. Is it possible to print to a physical
LPT port?

 

If I do this:

 

ls > LPT1:

 

a file called LPT1: is created on the hard drive rather than sending the
data to the printer on LPT1:
