One other thing - if you have installed an application which is already registered as the default application for handling PS files (you can see it when the explorer refers to them as 'PostScript File' rather than 'PS-File'), it might be easier to use<br />
<br />
ShellExecute ( NULL, &quot;print&quot;, &quot;&lt;path to file&gt;.ps&quot;, NULL, NULL, SW_HIDE); <br />

Assume I already had a postscript file, now I need to print it to a printer from my MFC application. How can I do it? &nbsp; Normally I do this on UNIX:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sprintf(printstr, &quot;lpr %s &nbsp; %s&quot;, filename, printer);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; system(printstr);<br />
<br />
I have tried the below on NT 4.0, however, the DOS box always shows up, and I did not want that.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sprintf(printstr, &quot;copy %s &nbsp;%s&quot;, filename, printer);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; system(printstr); <br />

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
