It's running on the remote computer - the one I am trying to print from.
It's invoked from an ASP page.

>>>REM On your workstation, in a CMD window:
>>>REM Redirect your local LPT1: printer port to the shared printer's queue:
>>>NET USE LPT1 \\ServerComputerName\SharedPrinterName (optional: add /persistent:y flag to end of this command)
>>>
>>>REM Print your text file by COPYing it to the LPT1: port with the binary switch:
>>>COPY MyTextFile.txt LPT1 /B
>>>
>>>REM Disconnect your LPT1 printer port from the remote queue:
>>>NET USE LPT1: /DEL
>>>

>>>The above will work only if the printer is NOT a GDI printer i.e. it supports printing from DOS applications.
