DOS Printing to Local Printer in XP

I have an XP workstation and need to print from DOS to LPT1:.

I type

net use lpt1: \\server\queue

and then type dir > lpt1: - Prints OK.

However, they then want to print to a local printer, so I install the
driver and share, and then type

net use lpt1: \\localpc\queue

and then type dir > lpt1: - Nothing ever prints, and the print job
keeps respooling itself.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Many thanks,

Chris.
