I would guess that you are off the mark by a factor of ten or so
-- but good instincts, anyway! The next step is this:

Without knowing the make and model of your printer, and how it
is connected to your box
(serial/parallel/USB/wireless/whatever), and the printer
languages that it understands (PCL/PS/etc), and whether it is a
braindead WinPrinter or a real device, there is very little we
can offer in the way of advice. Were you redirecting the port
of your default printer to LPT1 or LPT2, perchance? What do you
mean, "as far as I remember it just worked"? As far as you
remember...??! You mean, maybe it didn't work??

For an awful lot of people these days, "basic TY" is history.
But there are effective workarounds and solutions.
