Printing from a saved print file
 
I have saved a printer output to a file - how do I now open that file to
print it?

It's been quite a while, but as I recall....you need to treat your printer
like network folder and copy the file there this way:

Open a DOS prompt
Use the COPY /b command to copy the file to the printer:
Example:
COPY /b C:\myreport.prn \\server\printername

Note: the "b" tells the copy command that it is using a binary file.

Let me know if that still works.
