Re: Print file question



A .prn file is a capture of the data that would normally be sent directly to
the printer, telling it which dots to print. It's specific to the particular
printer (or printer driver) that was selected when the file was created.
There's no way to get Word to print anything intelligible from it. All you
can do is file-copy it in binary mode to the printer (and even that may be
hard to do, if you have a USB printer instead of a parallel-port printer).
