Need to create a simple batch file that you can use to make it so that Windows xp can natively print true dos to an IP based printer.

meangean,

This is not a straight answer but hope it helps.

From command line run:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?

There are tons of options. If you figured it out post the answer here.

You can use:

net use lpt1: \\machine\printershare

if you setup the printer as a shared printer on some machine. Don't believe you'll be able to go directly from dos to an IP printer without spending $$$
