printing of dos programs on network i.e. ws4.0 & lotus123

i have three system in my office
two of them consist of win_me edition
third system consist of win95 edition
three of them are on lan i.e. peer to peer network
i tried command net use lpt1 \\server\sharedprintername /persistant.yes
this command work once on my network in win_me edition only. on win95 this
command not work becuase /persistant.yes is not a valid command in win95.
when i use command net use lpt1 \\server\sharedprintername this command
works and works properly and gives prints but there is delay in printing
after a long time it gives print. is there any command to print quickly as
soon as give print command to avoid delay. and due to this command i have

run autoexec.bat again . even this file is on the root directory.
& on win_me there is printout comes out. & same delay problem is there.

second query. in win_me edition can i start my computer directely to dos
prompt as in case of windows if we modify boot.ini file boot = 0 then it
starts from windows & directly come to dos prompt.
