Take a look at the NET USE command-line utility. This will let you redirect a DOS printer port (e.g. LPT1) to an installed printer on the local machine (that printer must be shared) or a network printer.
NET USE LPT1 \\MyXPProPC\SharedPrinterName /persistent:y
NET USE LPT1 \\NetworkServer\SharedPrinterName /persistent:y
