I create alot of print files from a Windows program that my printer driver. I have WinNT 4.0 installed and open the DOS Window to print the files using either the COPY or PRINT commands by sening the file to LPT1. This has always worked fine. Today I tried it and and it appears as always (no error messages) but nothing happens with the printer. I can print a test page from the printer control menu and can print from windows programs. As far as I no nothing has changed on my system. I have reinstalled the printer driver, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

I don't use NT (NT is not DOS, BTW) and I have never had the pleasure of owning a printer, so my best advice is to ask in news:alt.msdos.batch.nt Usenet newsgroup on batch file programming for Windows NT If your ISP does not yet carry it, go to http://www.deja.com/usenet/ or http://deja.com/home_ps.shtml and enter alt.msdos.batch.nt as the search key. Contact your ISP and ask them to carry alt.msdos.batch.nt
