Windows allows you to check the "print to file" option
when printing. This creates a 'filename.prn' in a selected
directory on the hard disc. Very useful if you are mobile
and don't have a printer with you.

The question is, how do I get this file to print to my
(network) printer when I am back in the office?
 
From the command prompt type this:

copy file.prn \\servername\printersharename

This assumes the printer is shared.

Alternatively we have an inexpensive tool on our web site called FRP which
does this from a windows app.
