Windows – Print an ASCII file to a printer connected through USB

asciiprintingusbwindows

From my working program, I need to print an ASCII file to a printer connected through USB. So far this was working fine as we used LPT1 with the following command.

Type filename > prn

But the necessity to switch over to USB is becoming a must for very obvious reasons.

Seems Net Use is one way to map it to LPT. Is there any other way, particularly to work out in Windows 7 and XP ?

Here are directions on how to do it. A little long to cut and paste into the text box, but looks easy enough to do.
