Hi <br />
&nbsp;As far as I know 'copy' is an internal comand of windows command shell (cmd on NT/2000 or command on Win95/98) so the way to call it from Runtime.exec is <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cmd /c copy &lt;filename&gt; lpt1 /b (on NT, it should work with command instead of cmd on 98/95 ) <br />
&nbsp;<br />
Hope this helps

Printing in Java Using Runtime.exec

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
