That might be a problem if the OS is WinXP.
WinXP won't let you capture LPT1. You'll have to use LPT2 or LPT3 etc.
I'm not sure about Vista. I've never used it.
This might work too (if used on the same PC where the shared USB printer is
installed):
net use lpt2 \\127.0.0.1\printer
where printer = the name of shared printer

Set the printer to Shared, and make note of the name that you give it.
Then go to Start | Run, and enter the line
NET USE LPT1 \\name of your computer\shared name of printer
You will now be able to issue the command
COPY /b \path\filename.prn LPT1:
