I got a bright idea this morning, but it did not work. I was working on a five file schematic using my PC cad program. It takes a long time to plot a schematic on the Laserjet, and the cad program can't do anything else while that's happening. BRIGHT IDEA: I sent schematic page 1 to file SCH1.PRN, exited cad, typed "PRINT SCH1.PRN" to which MS-DOS responed "C:\CAD\SCH1.PRN is currently being printed". I then restarted the cad system and began working on schematic page2. "Nice goin' Winker" I said to myself. WHAT DIDN'T WORK: It seems the MS-DOS (Ver3.3) PRINT command doesn't like graphics files. HOW CAN YOU HELP: Does anyone know of a background printer program, like PRINT, which can handle graphics files? Thanx from all who could use the infomation. T.T.F.N.
