Problem HP 5610 and MS_DOS

[Sebastián Fernández \(Nucleosoft\)]

I can't print to that printer from a MS DOS session.

I send the command TYPE TEST.TXT>LPT2 and the printer do nothing, the
print job goes to the windows printer driver, it keeps in "printing" state
but the printer do nothing, any ideas?

Operating system : Windows XP Home and Profesional
The USB port is captured via NET USE LPT2 \\pc\printer
The printer has the PCL 3 enhanced languaje and the TEST.TXT is a simple
text file.

Thanks in advance.

That printer does not support DOS, as stated in the "Minimum system
requirements" at

You may want to have a look at Printfil to enable your DOS applications
printing to any Windows printer, including this one and virtual printers
(fax printers, PDF writers etc).
