No. The BIOS (any BIOS, except the 8088 which has 4) doesn't support more than 3. > I have a DOS application that needs lots of printers.

I'm not sure what LPTx you're talking about here. Isn't it a network printer? LPT5 does simply not exist -- and I wouldn't know which parallel port it would use from DOS' point of view... If the printer works like a file then you could just try to link to it on an lredir'ed drive in Linux (printer would be d:\printer.foo or something like that).
