Print to file

[Garry]

I understand that I can print a job to a file instead of directly going to
the printer (HP4000)
I can then at a later date drag the file to the HP4000 printer icon and the
job will print.
Have managed the print to file bit. The next stage comes with an error
message,
PLEASE OPEN WITH THE APPLICATION THAT CREATED THIS FILE. Anyone with any
thoughts. Regards

Open a command prompt and type

COPY filename.prn LPT1:

We have an application called FRP which will let you drag raw files on to a
printer, see the url below.
