Hi,

I am looking for a way to send a file to a network printer. I found the following example:
copy /B \\\
In real life:
copy /B sheet1.rtl \\Rain\hp2500
yet I get an error message of Network name cannot be found. I've tried every IP address in our office yet I get the same message.
Can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jeff

the syntax:

copy /b file.ext \\server\printer

is correct. so you are not doing anything wrong as far as your dos command is concerned. can you verify your network connection? ping?
