It is possible to capture the USB printer to an LPT port using the IP address if you have TCP/IP installed and have given the machine an IP address in the network adapter properties. In Network neighborhood type \\ipaddress. After the local computer is displayed and the shared resource you want is displayed, right click on the resource and then click on capture printer port.
