A. If you connect directly to a network print queue, you can’t set defaults for items such as duplex printing. To work around this limitation, you can create a local device that points to the network printer, then create a local print queue by performing the following steps: 1. From a command prompt, type NET USE LPT1: \\\ /persistent:yes to map the local LPT device to the network printer. 2. Add a local printer in the usual way (go to Start, Settings, Printers, and click Add Printer). 3. Specify a local device (LPT1), and configure the new printer.
