How to print to a file

I printed a document and select 'print to file '. Now, I want to send the file to the printer which is attached locally. How can I do?

I tried dragging the file to the print queue of the printer, but was told that I could not do that.

I tried to use the command window to print it like this:

copy temp.prn prn:
copy temp.prn lpt:
copy temp.prn usb001:

impression temp.prn

etc. But nothing works.

Also, how can I do the same thing on a network attached printer? You can assume that I printed to the file using the appropriate driver.

Thank you
-Jeff

The thing turned out be the parameter/b - send it to the printer in a binary file.

I also had to install the printer target on my PC as a network share in the printer properties box. After using "print to a file", I went to the command window and used this command to print the .prn file:

copy/b temp.prn->.

Thank you

  • How to print all the files in a folder without having to open each one?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to print all the files in a folder? I often need to print multiple files in a folder and it would allow me to save a lot of time!

    Thank you!

    I've done some testing, and it seems that Windows 7 allows print several files when they are all the same type of file.  So, for example, you can select and print 15 Word documents, but not a Word document and a single PDF document.

    To work around this limitation, you can print each file type separately.  For example, to print PDF files in a folder:

    1. Type *. PDF in the search for top-right box.
    2. For 1-15 files, press on CTRL + A to select all the.
    3. For 16 or more files, select 15 of them (click on the first, SHIFT + click the last).
    4. Click any file, and then click print .
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.

    I used to be able to save the files PDF with PDF lite but my HD crashed and I can't seem to download another version due to security problems.  However, I downloaded the software Acrobat reader DC but when I try to print (save it as PDF) this option is no longer present in the print list.  Any ideas?

    Hi teslac

    It seems that Acrobat works as an impression. At least Multisim took as an option for printing. If you want that I attached Setup lite PDF, then you just run it on your computer.

  • How to print a pdf file of departures of larger than my connected printer Illustrator allows?

    I use Illustrator CS6 and save a PDF of separations of colors for my screen printer. Unfortunately, my design is 10 x 10 "and the only options I had were printed"Postscript File"or my HP Deskjet printer (which goes up to 8.5" width).

    With selected "file Postscript" and a "Custom" paper size it still I cannot increase the size of 10 ". Not there at - it no Adobe pdf printer driver that allows this? I must be missing something simple. Help, please. Using 'Save as pdf' does not seem to allow separation.

    I ended up looking for the Adobe acrobat distiller 9 ppd and adding that manually to/Library/Printers/PPDs/happy/Resources

    Which then allowed me to print color separations in a PDF at any size.

    From the command prompt (start > run > Cmd.exe), simply change the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt ' or ' dir > lpt1," just as we got used to under MS-DOS. Switches for the DIR command of (type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you want to change the output.  Then, you can then modify the text obtained using NotePad, Word, WordPad, etc..

    Here, a link takes me to an article at this link...
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321379

    This article explains then that I need to download and run blindly 'Fix - It' application to obtain the simple ability to print a directory window... but it does not say what I'd do once downloaded the general application of "Fix - It" to get this option which should be part of the Windows 7 basic features first.

    Or, the article told me that I can "modify the registry" (?) in order to get the print option window... but I know that by having a character moved when editing the registry, it can bring down the entire computer and make it completely unusable.

    Those are really the only options to print all simply a window?... in addition to several screenshots and melted together in Photoshop and then print this image?

    Why not just give Windows 7 a 'PRINT' button under 'FILE' as other operating systems have always done... has always done Windows default this feature?

    This seems just crazy... This misunderstanding?

    Thank you

    I tried to copy and paste the name of the window... This time I tried while holding down the SHIFT key and it sticks anything in Notepad.

    This is not what I've proposed.

    • Select the files whose names you want to print. CTRL + A selects all.
    • Hold the SHIFT key, then right click on a file and select copy in the path from the context menu. This will put a list of filenames (path) to the Windows Clipboard.
    • Click inside a document, and the stick.

    Have another go.
