View Full Version : How do you print .prn files from Windows XP?

I have a large collection of PCL5 .prn files that I have
made using the "Print to File" method over the past few
years. I was able to coax Windows 98 & ME to print them
for me, but now that I've upgraded to XP Professional, I
can't print them. Does anybody know how you can enable
Windows XP to print the files. The files are recognized
by DOS, but it is a pain to print them from there.

Any help is appreciated,

There is an answer in this newsgroup. Do a search for the topic and
you will find all the related messages. Since each message may not
have had the exact topic, search for "prn" which should be common to
them all.
