Print through *.prn files through USB printers attached!!!!
Do you remember the old days when a lot of us use Windows 98 or 95 and at that time Ms-dos was a lot popular application. Then at time I clearly remember a DOS command used to print files having a *.prn extension using “copy filename lpt1″. This command was very useful at that time, if we want to print a file using a printer attached to another computer and files which have to be printed is very confidential and can’t face a rick to leave files there. This in fact was more useful as we didn’t need to carry all the fonts and graphics matters all this have with the open file. What we does at that time we simply create the file using the printer driver of the printer where it had to be printed. For this purpose we install the printer driver on our system and then print the file using output as print file and carry only the single file.
But this whole system failed with the insertion of USB printing devices as this doesn’t support printing through a *.prn file. Or if we have a printer on a network in another room or cabin and want to print a several files at once, but take this in consideration that on the same printer a lot of your colleagues are also giving their prints. Now imagine what this result - A total mess up of your printout there. Here it seems very awful as think alas! if we have an option to print our files through USB using the *.prn files. So now don’t worry you have a solution at least how you can get a output through a print file.
