PRINT
The PRINT command prints a single file or a list of files.
Syntax
PRINT [/drive:] [filename] [/options]
Remarks
PRINT allows you to enter between one and 32 files for spooling to the
printer. The files are output to the device in a spooled manner (while you
perform other operations).
If PRINT is entered without any parameters, it displays all the files that
are in the queue.
The first time PRINT is used, the operator is prompted with this message
for the device to perform the operation.
Name of list device [PRN]:
The legal devices for printing are LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, COM1,
COM2, COM3, COM4, AUX, or PRN.
Note: At the time this manual was updated, this utility did not contain
long filename support.
Options
The /B option sets the buffer size. The default buffer size is 512 bytes.
A larger buffer size causes print to operate faster. The maximum buffer
size is 32KB and the minimum size is 256 bytes. This option is only
allowed the first time PRINT is run.
The /C option cancels only the filenames listed after the /C command.
