Hi Jeff,
Thank you for using newsgroup!
First, I want to appreciate all valuable input above. Thanks!
For your issue, based on my research, by default, most MS-DOS-based
programs print directly to either the LPT1 port or to the LPT2 port.
However, the output is not automatically routed across a redirector to a
print share unless you use one of the following methods.
Method 1 (Ortega has mentioned)
===============
Use the net.exe command to establish a persistent connection. To do this,
use the following syntax at a command prompt
net use lptx \\printserver\sharename /persistent:yes
where x is the number of the printer port that you want to map, where
printserver is the print server that is sharing the printer, and where
sharename is the name of the printer share.
For example, to map LPT1 to a printer shared as Laser1 on a print server
that is named Pserver, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
3. Type net use lpt1 \\pserver\laser1 /persistent:yes, and then press
ENTER.
4. To quit the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER.
Note: In Windows XP, non-administrative users cannot map an LPT port to a
network printer path when the LPT port exists on the computer as a physical
parallel port.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313644/
Method 2
===============
Print directly to the printer share by using the following syntax at a
command prompt
print /d:\\printserver\sharenamedrive:\path\filename
where printserver is the print server sharing the printer, where sharename
is the name of the printer share, and where drive:, path, and filename make
up the complete path of the document that you want to print.
For example, to print a document that is named letter.doc from the root
directory of drive C to a printer shared as Laser1 on a print server that
is named Pserver, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
3. Type print /d:\\pserver\laser1 c:\letter.doc, and then press ENTER.
The following command-line message appears:
C:\letter.doc is currently being printed
4. To quit the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER.
Because Novell NetWare's CAPTURE command is not supported in Windows XP,
use the following command to map the LPT port to a Novell NetWare print
queue:
net use lptx \\server\queue
If the LPT port is redirected successfully, you receive the following
message:
The command completed successfully.
To disconnect persistent LPTx connections, use the following syntax:
net use lptx /delete

Windows XP
