Hi All, I'm working on Windows NT 4.0 and have downloaded the simplified chinese character set (GB2312) onto my machine. I've a .txt file that contains some chinese charcters. When I open this .txt file from Notepad, I'm able to see the chinese characters and am also able to print the same from Notepad. The problem I'm facing is, while printing the same .txt file from MS-DOS prompt. From the DOS prompt, I give the print command to print this file and it doesn't understand the chinese chacters and prints some ascii characters. Example: C:\> Print abc.txt I'm using an HP Laserjet 8150 PCL 6 printer. Could anyone please let me know, how to print a chinese text file from the DOS prompt?. Thanks in advance. Pankaj.

Welcome to my DOS site: (In simplified Chinese) http://wendos.mycool.net/

Hi, That's a pretty neat site and talks a lot about DOS. Thanks for the site address. Unfortunately, I'm not a chinese literate and couldn't understand most of the things from it. What I'm looking for is a solution, to Print a chinese text file from the DOS prompt. Does MS-DOS (English version) support chinese character printing? If yes, how do we achieve this? Thanks, Pankaj.

Thanks. You can achieve this in pure DOS mode while any Chinese system (UCDOS,CCDOS97,etc) is running, but as far as I know, you can't achieve this in a "Command prompt" window under WinNT/2K/XP, which don't have DOS built-in.
