I'm assuming you have the printers already installed. Here we go:
- Start\Settings\Printers
- Right click on the printer you want to map to your local LPT and select properties.
- Cick the "Details" tab
- on "Print to the following port" choose the port you want to print too.. LPT1 LPT2 etc..

That should do it, click ok all the way and reboot then test it out. If the printer is NOT local then simply capture the port by using UNC (ie. \\pcname\printersharename) .. Hope this helps :)

PS. Yup, that's my cube baby lol!
