Solve : Printing textfile over network with MS-DOS?

Answer»

I want to print a textfile from ms-dos, USING the print-command, and send it to a PRINTER located on the server.

Have tried various examples like:

print c:\MyFile.txt /NETWORKPATH:lpt1

however nothing seems to work.

Anybody got a clue? Try using the format:

print /d:\\servername\printername filename.ext

Good luck.

I managed.

You WRITE:

....net send lpt: \\SERVER_NAME\PRINTER_NAME

....{ENTER}....

....and then:

..........net send MyTextFile.txt lpt1:

...{ENTER}....

Don't FORGET to kill the printer connection with:

.....net send lpt1: /d

or it will also be killed when you log off.

Happy Me!I say:

net use lpt1: \\SERVER_NAME\PRINTER_NAME

{ENTER}

and then:

....print mytextFile.txt {ENTER}

Kill the connection with:

.....net use lpt1: /d

Happy Me!
