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.

Comments
Does anyone know how to print a text file to a networked laser printer.
If the printer is not networked you can do either of the following.
type filename>lpt1
print filename /d:lpt1
Is there anything similar either in windows or dos for a networked printer
Thanks,

In a Microsoft network, the dos command NET PRINT is useful.
If this is not enough help, contact me off-line. I'm in PA.

Go into the printer driver properties for the network printer in Windows and
set up the 'capture printer port'
under details. Then you can use your normal dos type and print functions in a
dos box and they will route to the
network printer that is capturing.
