I would like info on printing to a file. Specifically an HP DeskJet. I have done what the manual states and ther seems to be no problems on creating the actual file, but when I try to print it on the DeskJet nothing happens. I have used the following commands from DOS. copy file LPT1: print file Both have failed and there are no error messages. Woul;d anyone have any ideas? Thank you very much. reilly@bnlux1.bnl.gov
