You can try this:
1. Share the printer
2. Capture the shared printer to LPT1. At a command prompt, run (no quotes)
"NET USE LPT1: \\computername\printersharename"

MitchCumstein... Thanks for the reply.. Never had a chance to try it. I found if you install the printer off the Printer Install CD. It installs a DOS printer driver along with the USB print driver... Thanks anyways
