I tried that statement, but it did not recognize the command "net". Also
the Pascal program seems to bomb when I use any value other than 'USB001'
in the call to InitPrinter (or when I omit InitPrinter). The printer is
connected directly to my computer by a USB cable. There is no local net.

Make sure the printer is shared, and then use the following command to
redirect LPT2 to the printer:
net use LPT2: \\computername\printername /persistent:yes
Replace 'computername' with your computer name, and 'printername' with
the share name of your printer. After you've run the command, you
should be able to use InitPrinter('LPT2') in your program.
BTW, you want to use LPT2 since from what I've read, if the printer
port actually exists, Vista and Windows 7 won't let you redirect to
it.
Hope this helps.
