OK, that's the error I made. Thanks.
I used the /B (binary copy switch) AFTER the file name, instead of BEFORE
the file name. Seems kinda weird that one switch (/B) goes BEFORE the
file name, but that seems to work. (Well, on second thought, maybe it's
not so weird. I'll have to think about that. :-)
And I didn't have to use LPT1 or LPT2 or "NET USE", fortunately (which
simplifies things). (Why not, I have no idea, but this works).
Thanks to all.

I'm trying to print a .prn file, using the copy command, to a USB
printer,
and following the appropriate copy command syntax religiously.
I get this weird error, even after allowing my printer to be shared (and
giving it a share name, etc). Anyone know what's wrong? I've been
searching for the solution via Google, so far, no go.
For a USB printer, try the following substituting the correct info for
File.prn along with the name of your computer and printer.
COPY /B File.prn \\computername\printer
Take a look at this article for references.
