Default Drag and Drop PRN/PS files to printers local or network

Is there any way to get WIN XP PRO and WIN 98 SE to support native drag and drop
of PRN/PS,print to fileoutput, files so that you can drag and drop them on a
printer icon be it a local or network printer?

Doing it via CMD and copy /B file.prn LPT1 or copy /B fle.prn \\computer\printer
is a pain.

A solution I saw used a batch file, but it wasn't truly drag n drop.

Why this is not built into the UI. Seems logical that if I printed to a file
that at some point I would want to actually print the file to a printer, and
logically I should just drag it to a printer icon.

Obviously if you drop a PS file on a PCL printer and vice versa your going to
get gibberish.

Any solutions to create a true drag n drop solution?
