use the copy command, specifying as destination the port on which the printer is attached (usually LPT1). For that however, you should be able to send a "prn" file, created by some other application by a "print to file" option in the applications' menu. [red]Nosferatu[/red]

If you are printing to a network printer use the NET USE LPT? \\COMPUTERNAME\PRINTERNAME
 
If you are printing to a network printer use the NET USE LPT? \\COMPUTERNAME\PRINTERNAME and then print directly to that port e.g type c:\autoexec.bat >lpt?
We use a lot of old dos apps and this works for us.
