The Emacs manual has Windows-specific instructions in the node named
"MS-DOS Printing" (don't be turned off by its name: it's not only for
DOS). Did you read that as well? If so, did you try the port-capture
method or the "net use" method?
Can you get a text file printed on that machine by typing this from the
DOS box:
copy foo.txt lpt1
?
