Well elmtree, I'm not certain of what the situation is. Is the printer a parallel printer or a USB printer?

Are you trying to make a USB port print using lpt1? This is not going to happen. I know of no redirect to have a USB port output to a printer using lpt1. They are two different connectors.

To get a parallel printer to work on a USB port is going to be a challenge without a USB to parallel adapter cable.
You can get one of them at Tiger Direct (among many places)
HERE

It will also be a bigger challenge to make a parallel port send to a USB printer.

If the computer has no USB port, they are available just about anywhere computer accessories are sold.
