print
Print a file in the background, while you run other DOS commands.
print [options] [[d:][path]file] [[d:][path]file] [...]
Options
d:path\file
The file that you want to print.
/D:device
Specify the name of the device to print to. If not given, Print
will use the default LPT: device.
/B:size
Set the size of the buffer, in bytes, in the range 512-16384. The
default is 512.
/U:ticks
The number of clock ticks, in the range 1-255, that Print is to wait
for the printer to become available before printing the job.
/M:ticks
The maximum number of ticks for sending a single character to the
printer, in the range 1-255.
/S:ticks
The number of clock ticks, in the range 1-255, for the background
spooler process. The default is 8.
Larger numbers will speed up printing but slow down other DOS programs.
/Q:nn
The number of files that will be allowed in the print queue, in the
range 1-32. The default is 10.
/T
Remove all files in the print queue. Terminates the job that is
currently being printed.
/C
Cancel jobs in the print queue.
If this is used with a list of file names, only those files
are removed from the queue. If this is used alone, all jobs
are cancelled (although the current job isn't terminated.)
/P
Add a file to the print queue. If this precedes a list of files,
only those files are printed.
You may use /P and /C together on the same command line.
If no options are given to Print, only files, /P is assumed.
If no options and no files are provided, print displays the contents
of the print queue.
