You didn't mention the OS of your network. Assuming Windows Server. You need to know the sharename for the network printer. Say the Server is \\server1 and the share name of the printer is "laser". And you want LPT1 to be the port of the PC.
In the Autoexec.bat for the PC place the single line:
net use lpt1 \\server1\laser /yes
This only works if the user have Administrative Rights to the local PC, or, if you go to the BIOS setup and disable the local LPT1 port.
