My printer is connected to USB port of my Win98 machine. How can I pass a print file (created in another computer by redirecting print output to file instead of printer) to the printer? If printer was in LPT1 it was easy with a DOS command: copy LPT1 /b But for USB printer what is the solution?

Shouldn't matter whether USB or whatever... Ensure Printer/File sharing is switched on (somewhere in Control Panel/Network I think but I can't test it, I'm on NT) Then right-click the printer, share as... and give it a share name. Then on the other PC click on Add Printer...Network Printer...then it should list all network printers.

In addition to Skatties answer you will need to install alternative printer drivers on the client PC if it is running a different Operating System. Also regarding the printer port LPT1 in the original question, when using USB the printer works through the virtual USB port not LPT1
