I have a USB printer on USB001 port. I would like to dump a file (printed
to FILE on a different computer) to this printer.

How do I redirect LPT1: so that the COPY /B command can pipe the file to the
USB port?

Similarly, how do I redirect LPT1: to a network printer (Netware NDS).

Thanks.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
