Print (command)
In computing, PRINT
is a command in the command line interpreters (shells) of DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows. It is used to add a text file to the print queue. Because of the text file limitation it is not equivalent to the lpr
command in the Berkeley printing system or the lp
command in the System V printing system (both available in the CUPS printing system). The command was introduced in MS-DOS version 2. Another option to print files is to use the COPY
command to copy files to one of the printer ports LPT1: to LPT3:.

Famous quotes containing the word print:
“The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger- print of reality upon the beautiful.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
