- For those who may have missed it, the question was how to print
- using a printer connected to someone else's computer. Printing to a
- file, transporting the disk, then copying the file from the disk to
- the printer was giving partial output.
-
- The solution, as given to me via email from an extremely helpful
- person(TM), is to use the /b switch when using the DOS COPY program to
- send the file to the printer. Without this switch, the COPY program
- ignores everything after an EOL character. With it, my files printed
- perfectly.
