I have a pcl file that I wish to print on a remote
printer. I know that I can print a PCL file to an lpt1
port by performing a binary copy. (copy /b filename.prn
lpt1). However, the printer I wish to use is not on an
lpt port, it is on an ip address. How can I print the
file to the IP port?
 
At the command prompt type:

lpr -S <hostname> -P <queuename>

hostname could be an IP address and if the printer is a HP then queuename
should be raw.
