The printer does not need to have a port assigned. You can print to a
shared network printer from a DOS prompt with the following syntax:
copy file.prn \\ComputerName\PrinterName
If either the ComputerName of the PrinterName contain spaces then you must
put the destination string in quotes, for example:
copy file.prn "\\Server\HP Designjet 750C"
You can also do some nice stuff by making a batch file to issue the command
and then associating a .PIF file with it. Put a ? on the command line of
the .PIF file and it will open a windows dialog box prompting of the file
name. This way you can completely shelter your users from the ugly command
prompt.
