LPT2 is a protected name because you are loading print01.sys. REM out
print01.sys and reboot and you should be able to delete the lpt2 entry
because it will no longer be protected. Black hole is not a solution in
this case.

OS/2 is not supposed to allow a file named lpt2 to be created while
print01.sys is loaded, but I've seen it happen. I suspect it is a defect
in the VDM subsystem, but I can't prove it.
