use "Print /d:lpt1 a:archive.doc" command only work to local printer.
if the printer is on network or remote, this command don't work.

same command but use the sharename instead of lpt1

/d:device

Specifies the name of the print device. Valid values for
parallel ports are LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3. Valid values for
serial ports are COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4. You can also
specify a network printer by its sharename
(\\servername\print_share). The default value is PRN. The
values PRN and LPT1 refer to the same parallel port.

Straight from microsoft help that came with Win2K.

Cheers.
