.prn file
wrote in message ... Does anyone know how to print a prn file in Windows XP? Use the procedure below which works with any version of Windows: How to Print from a Command Prompt To print from a command prompt, type "copy filename.prn LPT1 /b", and then press ENTER, whe filename.prn must be appended with the full path name if you are not in the subdirectory where the file is located. If you are using a printer port other than 1 make the appropriate changes. Be sure to put the /b at the end or the copying will stop when the first ASCII character above 127 is encountered. Leave out the quotation marks. The prn file must use drivers for the printer to which you want to send the copy. You might receive gibberish otherwise. A Postscript file might generate scores of pages of text if your printer does not have a Postscript rendering driver. The link below has details for setting up drag and drop printing: http://support.microsoft.com/default...s;158081&FR=1& PA=1&SD=HSCH -- Earl F. Parrish |

Earl, Thank you for the response. If I interpret correctly, I must print to an lpt port. I need to print to a printer connected to a usb port though. Can I do that with the procedure you sent? Thank you again. Very truly yours, Gene |

If your printer also has a parallel port connector, you could connect the printer that way to finish the job. You then would leave the printer icon in Printer and Faxes and reconnect it as needed. -- Earl F. Parrish |
