The print dialog box in most Windows apps has the option 'Print to file',
which produces a file with a '.prn' extension. Can someone please tell me
how to send that file to the printer?

Thank you.

Click to expand...

open a Command Prompt and type:
copy filename.prn > lpt1 (if it's locally connected)
or
copy filename.prn \\computer_name\shared_printer_name (if it's networked)

Kind regards,
