PRINTING FROM DOS TO A TCP/IP PRINTER FROM WINDOWS
I have a laser connected to a Ethernethub , the hub on the network.
I can print everything from windows, but I do have a few programs that prints from a dos program to LPT1 poort
wich I have to redirect to this TCP/IP printer , adress 192.168.1.106 portname x_DHCPPC6
Can I use in a dos box or the mode command and/or the net command? and what would be the comand syntax line?

Does not work, it takes first printer from printerlist that has a real lpt1:

TCP/IP must be installed for any DOS based Network printing.
Type Net use LPT2: \\PSXXXXXX\P1
Tell each program to print from LPT2.
