Or is it LPD on a UNIX server that you are trying to print to?

Thanks for the response.

The network printer I'll be using (a Brother HL2070N) acts as a LPD
daemon. From a UNIX or Windows 2000+ command line, I could run "lpr"
and easily send a text file to the printer.

With Win98, however, there is no built-in lpr utility.

My next option is to capture the printer to "LPTx" and see if I can
simply use "copy file LPTx".

But "lpr" seems like a better solution - if I can find such a utility.

[...] A batch file could copy a print file (usually type PRN) created
by an application to a remote printer - is that what you are trying
to do?

Nope. I need to access the same printer from four machines. Since
these four PCs are not guaranteed to be ON at any given time, I can't
use a "shared" printer.
