Print to a file

After I use "Print to a file", a file (.prn) is saved on
my disk. How can I print this file on another printer?
Thanks.

The prn files can ONLY be printed on the same (type of) printer as the
driver used to create it. For example, if you have a friend with a
$3000 high speed HP Laser Jet 9000 and you want to use that instead of
your 3.5 page/min Lexmark to print your 1000 page novel, you have to
install the LJ9000 printer driver on your system, and then use that
printer driver to "print to file." Then go to the system where the
target printer is installed and from a command prompt type:

COPY my_novel.prn LPT1 /B

From the command prompt type:

copy filename.prn \\computername\printersharename

The printer needs to be shared for this to work. If you want a nice easy gui
to do it then we have a simple utility called FRP on our web site.
