1: Create a share to the printer.

2: At a command prompt, type: NET USE LPT1 \\mycomputer\myprintershare
(or course, mycomputer is the network name of your computer, and
myprintershare is the name of the share you gave the printer in step 1.)

Printing from DOS with Windows 2000 or XP

This works for Vista, too.
