Yes - share the printer on the USB port to the network, and then use NET USE to assign it to a DOS-recognized device name:
Your login script or batch file should contain a line like:
NET USE LPT2 \\MyMachine\MyUSBPrinterShare /YES
You can also fire this from inside FPDOS by oplacing it in a batch file or explicitly invoking a new command processor:
RUN COMMAND /C START /WAIT NET USE LPT2 \\MyMachine\MyUSBPrinterShare /YES
