We are trying to print to the LPT1 port which is mapped
to a network printer, and no matter what we try, clipper
does not seem to see it.
For everyone who asked... Yes, I properly mapped
the LPT1 port to the printer, which is why copying
a PCL file to LPT1 works.

Did you do it in the same COMMAND.COM session that ran the Clipper program, via a batch file? "Properly" is something that Micro$haft changes routinely.
Does the hardware actually have an LPT1 port?
Can always take your code base and compile with (x)Harbour, and not have to mess around with port mapping. Only 3rd party libraries are the major stumbling blocks.
