I have XP pro installed on a computer without internet or
connected printer. I printed a Labview document to file
(.prn) and am now unable to open it in either labview or
wordpad (gives pages of unreadable character codes).
Does anyone know how to print this file or what needs to
be done with a prn file to make it printable?

Thanks
 
Open a command window by navigating to Start Run and typing "cmd" in the
slot without the quotes. Next, a window will open. Type each line followed
by pressing enter.

copy /b <printer_file_name> lpt1
exit


<printer_file_name> is the fully-qualified DOS path to the printer file.
e.g. copy /b c:\printer_files\test.prn


Let us know.
