I need a DOS command to set up a printer to a shared on another pc as if it was on lpt1
please helpnet use lpt1 \\computername\printersharename

You will need to have the proper drivers installed for the printer and the proper networking drivers installed as well.

If you want it to remap to this printer everytime you reboot it would be

net use lpt1 \\computername\printersharename /persistent:yes

I BELIEVE that is all the correct syntax. If not, from your command prompt, type
net use /?
and it will show you the syntax for net use.

You really need to stop "hijacking" other people's threads. If you really want some help then post a NEW topic with a good descriptive title and message, in the correct forum (Windows in this case) and maybe someone will be able to help you.
