Default Printing to a printer on USB001

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how to print a text file
from the command prompt to a printer on the
USB001 port.

With the printer on the LPT1 port, you can do
this with "c:\copy text.txt prn"

Thanks for any help.

Ron

Hi,

We had found Bruce's article and have tried the procedure
several times. Everything seems normal until we enter at
the command prompt: "net use lpt1: \\widco\tdoc" - At this
point we get "System error 1231 has occurred" "The network
location cannot be reached"

Windows Help is no help.
