Follow these steps (on Windows XP, ...):
1. Make your USB printer a shared network resource, even if it is connected to your own PC; choose a share name (not more than 8.3 characters), e.g. "HPDJ3920".
2. Redirect a free DOS printer device of your PC (LPT1...3) to that shared network printer using the console command "net", this way:
C:\> net use LPT1: \\mycomputer\HPDJ3920 /persistent:yes
where "mycomputer" is to be replaced by your computer's name.
3. Print your, in general binary, PRN files like this
C:\> copy mydoc.prn LPT1: /b
where the file "mydoc.prn" has been produced in advance by a normal printing menu command of the application (say MS Word) - but with checkbox "Print to File" checked. By the latter choice, you will be prompted for a file name and you chose, say, mydoc.prn.
