Print file without prompting for a printer

[Guest]

I have a batch print process that runs in a Windows 2000 Environment. It
works great on files like .doc, .xls, .pdf However, on .htm, .ppt or .snp it
will actually prompt the user with the Select Printer box asking them to
select a printer. I have looked at the FileType options in Windows Explorer
and can't figure out how to alter that to not prompt for the printer. I can
also reproduce the errors by browsing to a file of .snp or .ppt and then
right-click the file and then select PRINT from the menu. It will prompt
then also.

Any help?

Thanks!
Mark

can you send a line(or the whole thing)from the batch file, so we can see
what the source code looks like

Royce,

No...it is a huge application that is running on the machine. I can't post
just one line from it. Basically I need to be able to edit the file-type
properties to get it to print just like .doc files do. If you browse to a
..doc file and right-click it and select PRINT it will be sent directly to the
printer. If you browse to a .ppt file or .snp file and right-click and then
seelct PRINT it opens a dialogue box. I need it to stop prompting with this
box.
