There is another method that I use. You will need a LaserJet driver 
(Harmony or Independence) and a little custom driver called "capture" that 
someone wrote (sorry I forget his name) that dumps everything from the 
printer port to a disk file. When using a GS program, 
select "capture" and the LaserJet driver from Direct Connect. Then print. 
It will create a file of the printed image on disk. You need to get this 
file to your PC (I use a PCTransporter). Then just "copy" the file to 
LPT1 and it comes out just as if it was connected to the GS.
