I found this. I don't know if it will work or not though. 1. Go to the ports tab and check the "Enable Printer Pooling" checkbox.
2. Now in the list of ports check LPT1. You should now have two ports checked, the orignal port for the network printer and the LPT1 port. The concept here is a printer pool is a collection of printers that are exactly the same and when printing to this type of printer the first available printer is chosen to be printed to. By performing the above steps you have created a bunch of printer pools that consist of one printer and an LPT1 port. When a job is directed to LPT1 and since there is no printer there, it will print to the "other" printer in the pool. So when a user selects their default printer, they will have the ability to print to LPT1 without you having to know the default printer name.
