Answer» how to print an EXCEL from a batch file?
any help will be greatly appreciated!! If you want to print the file from the desktop, type:
@echo off
print "%userprofile%\desktop\name.xls"
cls
echo. Your file is being printed
pause
exit
Another very simple way is to copy cmd.exe from C:\WINDOWS\System32\ to wherever your excel file is. Then open that COMMAND prompt and just type:
print name.xls
hope this works
-------------------
CARBON DUDEOXIDEThe print command works with text files only. Excel workbooks have a proprietary structure with character SEQUENCES that will make most printers run AMOK.
You could write a standalone script, an Excel macro, or use the File==>Print sequence in Excel.
Note: the standalone script could be called from a batch file :-?; using the Excel menus would be done within the Excel application; a macro would be able to use either a batch file or run manually within Excel.
