Batch file to print receipts

Question

I'm trying to get a program that was left to me to work on another PC, it won't print.

The printer works fine but it won't print using a batch file. There's 2 batch files that I think I need to run, 1 is called "auto_net_use" which contains

Net Use LPT1: \\opr-02\EPSONTM- /PERSISTENT:YES

What does this do? is it the share path? is opr-02 the name of the PC?

Here's the batch file for printing a text file used by the program

@echo off
cd \
set pth=%~dp0
Print "%pth%balance_inquiry.txt"
pause
exit

What is "set pth=%dp0" ?

Net Use LPT1: \\opr-02\EPSONTM- /PERSISTENT:YES is mapping a printer named EPSONTM- that's located on the opr-02 system

set pth=%~dp0 is the current directory where the script was called from. See More Link
