printing to USB printer using Command prompt

Found that the way to use the command prompt to print to a USB printer is by sharing it and using the net use command to map it to a printer port. But then, when I did
net use lpt3: \\mymachine\shared_name /persistent:yes
it gave me the error message
The local device name has a remembered connection to another network resource.
I tried restarting the machine, but the error still remained. So I just mapped my USB printer to lpt3 instead of trying to fight with Windows.
