How do you print a .prn file in Windows XP

[Guest]

I have a hp deskjet 3550 printer connected to USB001. How can I print a .prn file to the printer?

Found this info:

So what you need to do is input the saved PRN file to the printer driver
software (not to NWC), and tell the driver to re-print it to the real
printer.

How do you do that? On my system, I can go to the control panel, and open
the printers folder. I can drag-and-drop the PRN file onto the icon for the
real printer. That causes the file to be printed.

Hi,

You can drag and drop the file on the Printer icon.

OR

1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type "copy <path>\<filename.prn> lpt1:

Note: Replace <path> to the path where the .prn file is located. Replace
<filename.prn> with the .prn file name.

Hope this helps ......
