Also, &quot;print C:\Temp\Test.pdf&quot; will not print as a PDF but only as the printable characters in the file. &nbsp;PDFs must go thru a PDF reader/formatter like Adobe Reader to print properly. &nbsp;I just tried it out of curiosity and it just prints a mess of characters.<br />

About the only thing that you can print successfully from the command line like that is plain text. &nbsp;If you can view it in Notepad, you can print it. &nbsp;All other files formatted for other programs are going to be a problem.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am writing a batch job that accepts a filename as input for sending to print. Code as follows :<br />
<br />
Print.bat<br />
=======<br />
Print /D:&quot;\\apbl-prn03\HP GCC 15th Floor&quot; %1<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I execute from dos as follows :<br />
Print.bat &quot;C:\Temp\Test.pdf&quot;<br />
<br />
<br />
The %1 parameter is not working. Am I doing this wrong? Please advise.

Simple Print Batch Dos Program

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
