LPT1 to a Network Printer??

Is there any way to create a virtual LPT1 port and map it to a network printer??

I have a user who has an ancient DOS like application and it will only print to a Parallel port. Unfortunately we don't have computers with parallel ports anymore and we only use network multifunction printers. I've attempted to use the "NET USE LPT1: \\[Computer-Name]\Printer /PERSISTENT:YES" command without success. I think the aging software needs to see an actual LPT port in Device Manager or something? I've searched the WWW for a couple hours without finding a working work around. Anyone here have some knowledge they wouldn't mind sharing??

Thanks :)
