At the DOS command line, I used to be able to just "copy" a file to
"lpt1" to get it to the local printer without having to open it in a

I think you are looking for lpr:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
K:\>lpr
Sends a print job to a network printer
Usage: lpr -S server -P printer [-C class] [-J job] [-o option] [-x]
[-d] filename
Options:
-S server Name or ipaddress of the host providing lpd service
-P printer Name of the print queue
-C class Job classification for use on the burst page
-J job Job name to print on the burst page
-o option Indicates type of the file (by default assumes a
text file)
Use "-o l" for binary (e.g. postscript) files
-x Compatibility with SunOS 4.1.x and prior
-d Send data file first
If I recall, the server is the Machine namd and the Printer is the
Queue name on the Press (Print, hold, ...)
