I printed a document to a file. How do I output the file to a printer?

A. When you printed your document to a file, you created either a .prn file or .ps file, depending on whether you used a Printer CL (PCL) or PostScript print driver. To print the file, go to Start, Run, then type

copy <file> lpt1: /b

to copy the file to the lpt1: device in binary mode. For information about checking the state of your lpt1: device, see "How can I print from the command window/use lpt1 etc?".
