Not sure if I understand, what program do you want to initiate the print command from?

You can do this with visual basic script. If Word is installed on the computer you can use the Word.Application class to open a hidden Word window and tell it to print. It would be something like this:
This script will take a single command line argument and print that file using word.
Code:
Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordObj.Visible = False
Set WordDocument = WordObj.Documents.Open(WScript.Arguments(0))
WordDocument.PrintOut()
WordDocument.Close()
WordObj.Quit()This script will take a single command line argument and print that file using word.

type doxument.doc >LPT1 would work as well. As far as hiding it from a user? Sounds sketchy.....buuuuuuut I think that since it's DOS that NTFS would put a timestamp on the file access.
