DOS firewire printing help

[mike_hunt]

Hi there,

Please can someone help with a DOS command?
I need to print a .prn fire to a printer connected by firewire to my
workstation that is running windows XP pro.

Is there a line I can use to do this or a batch file or similar?

All help gratefully recieved

Thanks

Will

you should share your printer, as it would be on a network, then, from a
command prompt:

NET USE LPT1: \\my_computer_name\my_shared_printer_name

at this point you can:

COPY myfile.prn LPT1:

Alternatively, you can download the free trial version of Printfil and use
it to forward your .prn file directly to the printer (in RAW mode), even
without sharing it. You can find it at http://www.printfil.com/edown.htm
