- Do you have a printer physically attached to LPT1, OR
- Have you redirected LPT1 to whichever local or network port has the printer?
Your printer must be DOS-compatible for this to work. This rules out a lot of low-cost "Windows-only" (so-called GDI) printers which don't have any processor or memory of their own, they rely on your PC for all rendering etc.
Assuming you do have a DOS-compatible printer attached to LPT1 you should be able to print to it with
COPY /b FullPathFileName LPT1
or
COPY /b FullPathFileName LPT1.DOS
or
COPY /b FullPathFileName PRN
