Open the file in notepad, click file, print, and select the printer that
you wish to print to, assuming you already have the drivers loaded on
this machine.

OR

net use lpt3 \\machine_name\printer_name

which will map lpt3 ( or use lpt2 ) to the printer named printer_name on
the machine called machine_name.
NOTE: my win-box would not allow me to use an ip address in place of
machine_name.

After this is done, you can

type filename.ext > lpt3 and the file will print on the remote printer.


This at least works from my windows box printing to my linux server where
the printer is attached.
