I printed a document using the FILE: port setting. How do I actually
print the the output file ? Is there a print manager utility in Windows
where I could load previously created output files ?

Thank you

Hi Pablo,

You can do this from a command line by typing in the following command:

copy /b (filename) lpt1

assuming that the PC you're using has a printer attached to the parallel
port, lpt1. Just substitute (filename) for the full path and name of your
file.

The printer also needs to be the same as the one you used to create the file
(same driver).

Hello S W,

I think there is a program called Windows Print Manager but I don't know if
that's part of Windows or a 3rd party product. My customer dislikes the
command window.

Thank you for your feedback.
