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.
