Hi Don,

I got interested in this to see if I could get my Vista machine to print
from the command line to a USB printer.  Following a link from Google I
found this:

"In the Printer Properties page, select the Ports tab. Click the Enable
Printer Pooling box and select LPT1. When the DOS application tries to
print, it will go to LPT1. This will place it in the Windows XP's print
queue. Since there's no LPT1, it will fail over to the IP Printer port
instead."

This worked.  Try it in the properties of your printer.  I haven't tested
this otherwise, but so far looks good.
