how to print PRN files

I need to know how to print PRN files. I know this may be
basic but I can nof find a way to do it in windows XP.

Also, I want to know if it makes any difference the
printer specified before creating the prn file.

Open a Command Prompt and type:

COPY filename.prn LPT1: (if it is locally connected)

or

COPY filename.prn \\SERVER\PRINTER (if it is networked)

Yes. The PRN file contains the printer-specific control codes.
You can send it only to that printer type.

Kind regards,
