I have a printing device with a serial interface.
It is connected to a serial port of a print server, that is connected to the
network.
To day I am printing from a UNIX box, but I am moving the system to a
Windows platform.

The application is printing to a LPT-port (e.g. LPT9).
LPT9 is redirected to \\server\sharename using NET USE LPT9:
\\server\sharename

My problem is: What I am sending into LPT9 is NOT what the printing device
is receives.

My best guess is that the printerdriver on \\server\sharename is trying to
interpreter the data received from LPT9.

Here is a little example:

The \\server\sharename is installed with a driver: Generic/Text only

LPT9 receives:

4C 42 03 0D 01 56 02 30 LB...V.0

The printing device receives:

How can I define a printer, that is totally transparent?
