Are those DOS applications run under DOS or under ntvdm on a
WinXP/WIN7-32bit box? If they are run directly in DOS you won't get a
solution for iprint - the nowadays only solution for real DOS is a
SAMBA/CUPS print server, which can be accessed fine from WfW3.11, which
runs atop of real DOS (even a MS Win2008 server cannot be accessed by
real DOS and WfW3.11 anymore). You can install cups/samba even on an
OES server, if you don't use iprint on that server - and it works fine.

If you are running them on WinXP/Win7-32bit you can use iprint. Instead
of capture you can use icapture to capture an iprint port to a LPTx:
port. Of course you can use SAMBA/CUPS (with net use) in that scenario,
too.

We had issues with capturing printer ports in Win7, I'm not sure if thats been solved or not so I'd suggest testing that.
Other then that iPrint has been a blessing with its driver / profile management for us, no more manually installing printers on workstation :-)

Icapture and capture from Novell only work on 32-bit OSs. So if you are
using Win7 64-bit you won't be able to use capture/icapture, but need
to use NET USE to a SAMBA/CUPS or a Windows server.
