In XP Pro.....in 'cmd' mode, sort of similar to old DOS.....
I create a simple batch file named testfile.bat ......
which I'd like to print. When I enter type testfile.bat
I see the contents on screen.

When I type print testfile.bat it says
c:\testfile.bat is currently being printed.......and just sits
there until I hit Ctrl-C to interrupt it. It doesn't get to
the printer. Of course, under browser control, the printer
works just fine.

What do I have to do, to get it to print the contents of a
file when under 'cmd' control?

Thanks.....
