Answer 5

ah ok...it is a PRINT command for ms-dos..

example..

c:\ print sample.txt

or

c:\ print sample.doc

and it will automatically print if there is printer attached in your pc.

additional info :

PRINT [/B:(buffersize)] [/D:(device)] [/M:(maxtick)] [/Q:(value] [/S:(timeslice)] [/U:(busytick)] [/C][/P][/T] [d:][path][filename] [...]

Options

/C - Provides a way to select which files to cancel. A filename already in the print queue that precedes this option will be suspended. Names of files (already in the print queue) that follow this option will be canceled. You can also list more files to print as part of the same PRINT command by entering the /P option followed by the filenames to print.

/P - Sets the print mode. The preceding filename and all following filenames will be added to the print queue. You can also list files to cancel as part of the same PRINT command by entering the /C option followed by the filenames to cancel.

/T - Deletes all files in the print queue (those waiting to be printed). After the print files are canceled, the program displays a cancellation message. If a file is being printed as the PRINT command is used with this option, the printing will stop immediately.

The following options are allowed only the first time you run the PRINT command:

/D (device) - Specifies the print device. If not specified, PRINT will prompt you to enter the name of a print device. The default is PRN.

/B (buffersize) - This parameter sets the size (in bytes) of the amount of memory used by the PRINT buffer. Increasing this value speeds up the operation of the PRINT command. If you do not use the /B option, the PRINT buffer will be set to 512 bytes.

/M (maxtick) - Specifies how many computer clock ticks PRINT can have to print a file. The value of /M can be from 1 to 255. If you do not use the /M option, this parameter will be set to 2.

/Q (value) - Specifies the maximum number of files that are allowed in the print queue (from 4 to 32). If you do not use the /Q option, this parameter will be set to 8.

/S (timeslice) - Specifies the time slice (the interval of time used by DOS to schedule PRINT jobs). If you do not use the /S option, this parameter will be set to 8.

/U (busytick) - Specifies the number of computer clock ticks that DOS will wait for a printer that is not available. If the wait is longer than this value, DOS gives up its time slice (refer to option /S above). If you do not use the /U option, this parameter will be set to 1.

If you use the PRINT command without entering any options , the current contents of the print queue is displayed. This does not change the status of the files currently in the PRINT queue. If you do not enter any of the forward slash options (/), the /P option is assumed.

The first time you use the PRINT command, the following prompt appears (unless you specify the /D parameter):

Answer 9

.

Just redirect your output to a file and then open the file to take printout.

eg. c:\>dir > vasu.txt

By giving above command, the output of dir in MSDOS will go to the file vasu.txt.

Then u can open that file in windows and take printout or you can take printout directly from MSDOS.
