After more research and more fooling around, I am now able to print from
FreeDOS to my network WiFi printer. Just to clarify a couple of points - my
FreeDOS PC is connected to my home network through an ethernet cable to my
router. My free-standing laser printer is connected to my home network
I got the 2 printers working with some experimentings.
I changed the 2nd port from ECP to SPP. Now its
happy.

Hi Marv!
So you have a serial port on your DOS PC and on your Windows PC,
a network-only printer and maybe, or maybe not a LPT1 port on the
DOS PC (physically). To print directly over the network, you can
try some trickery with netcat. Some printers might also create a
built-in website which
Since I don’t have a printer with a parallel port, I’ve been redirecting
LPT1 to COM1, which is connected to my Windows 10 PC at 115200 baud. Using
a terminal program, I capture what I want to a file that I can either print
or save on my Windows 10 PC. Clunky, but it works. It even works ok for
