Depends on a lot of things: whether the printer is
local or networked; what version of Windows you're
running, &. 

As a very basic starting point: if it's a local printer 
(ie plugged into the back of your machine) it's probably 
on LPT1: already, or you could go to the Add Printer 
wizard and tell it to configure it for LPT1: there.

If it's networked, then something like:

NET USE LPT1: \\servername\printerqueue

should achieve the right effect.
