Print a file or files to a local or network printer.
Syntax
PRINT [/D:device] [pathname(s)]
Key
device : either a local printer (LPTx, COMx )
or a network printer by its sharename (\\servername\print_share)
pathname : The file or files to be printed
The default device is PRN. The values PRN and LPT1 refer to the
same parallel port.
To delete a print job:
Use Control Panel, Printers (GUI) or use
NET PRINT job# /DELETE
It is possible to delete the relevant .spl and .shd files from
%SystemRoot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS
but the .spl file for a print job at the top of the print queue will be locked and so cannot be deleted.
Printing requires the Spooler service to be running
