You need to check the manual for your printer, they accept different arguments, google might help if you've no manual.

I seem to recall that print uses the print queue and eats ram if a lot of jobs are queued to print, whereas you can use copy to lpt1 or prn to do save resources if necessary. May not be a problem with a modern spec'd machine...
