My printer was down so I printed to a file. I expected to be able to
right-click and send it to the printer later. How do I print a *.prn file?

The old-fashioned way would be to run Command Prompt, type
"print [name of file.prn] > LPT1" (minus the quote marks)
and enter.

both fail.

Someone said you can drag and drop the file onto the printer icon to print.
I have not tried that myself though.

You can simply drag and drop, too.

Shawn said:Maybe I need to clarify. How do I print a .prn file to a USB printer? Does
it require special software or is it built into XP?
Shawn Matlock said:The printer is working. I can print from any application.
Is there an associated application that is supposed to go with .prn files?
