how to print a file created withe the FILE: port ?
I printed a document using the FILE: port setting. How do I actually
print the the output file ? Is there a print manager utility in Windows where I could load previously created output files ? Thank you |
Open a command window and type the following:
COPY [name of file] PRN: (without the brackets, of course, just the name of the file) then press Enter. There's no way to re-load and re-edit it since it's now in binary printer form, ready to be sent to a printer. -- Richard G.

Hello Richard,
I think there is a program called Windows Print Manager but I don't know if that's part of Windows or a 3rd party product. My customer dislikes the command window. Thank you for your feedback.
