Printing .prn files

D

David Candy

Copy it to the printer. It must be in that printer's language.

copy file.prn prn

There's lots of reasons why it may not work.

How do you print a .prn file in Windows XP?

If your pinter is connected to a parallel port, from the Start | Run line or
a command prompt box issue the comnand

COPY /b \path\filename.prn LPT1

If yours is a USB printer, there's an extra step you have to do first:

Set the printer to Shared, and make note of the name that you give it.

Then go to Start | Run, and enter the line

NET USE LPT1 \\name of your computer\shared name of printer

You will now be able to issue the command

COPY /b \path\filename.prn LPT1
