Default 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.

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.
Pablo
