Sending Jobs to Network Printers Using CAPTURE and NPRINT

Using NPRINT

Printing Tasks Handled through NPRINT

NPRINT is used to send a ﬁle to a printer. This would include plain text

(ASCII) ﬁles such as AUTOEXEC.BAT and any application software output

already formatted for a printer.

Command Syntax

Unlike CAPTURE, where options may be entered in any order, NPRINT

requires that the ﬁlename be speciﬁed immediately after you type

“NPRINT” according to the following format:

NPRINT filename [P=printername | Q=queuename]

[/option...]

For example, to print ﬁle JANUARY.RPT in the current directory to printer

P_1 with no banner or form feed, type

NPRINT JANUARY.RPT P=P_1 NB NFF

Multiple ﬁlenames can be entered in the same command by separating them

with commas.

NPRINT JANUARY.RPT,FEBRUARY.RPT P=P_1 NB NFF
