Sending to Print server

Comment:

HELP I'd like to be able to send a print file to the print server(plotter), by droping the file on the Batch( I think). I've tried :copy *.*\\print-server\plotter. Nothing. I can't figure out how to make it variable. I'm not sure this even makes sense. I'm very new to this. TIA TOdd

To send a formatted file to the print server you may type the following at the DOS prompt: Copy /B File_Name \\Prn_Ser\Prn_Dev Where File_Name is the file to be printed Prn_Ser is the print server Prn_Dev is the printer device name WARNING: The Prn_Dev must be declared as shared by your system administrator otherwise the line command Copy statement will not work.
