PRINT
[pathname [Ie] [lP]. ..] [IT]
Lets you put a maximum of ten files in the print queue, so that
MS-DOS prints them automatically while you process other MS-
DOS commands. This is called background printing. The printer
must be connected and ready.
Parameters
pathname is the name of the file you want to print. The path-
name can include a drive reference but cannot include direc-
tories. The file must be in the current directory of the drive
specified.
IC
deletes (cancels) from the print queue the file that immedi-
ately precedes and all files that follow
IC
in the command line.
IP
adds to the print queue (prints) the file that immediately pre-
cedes and all files that follow
IP
in the command line.
IT deletes (terminates) from the print queue all files that are
there, waiting to be printed.
Regardless of the number of
IC
and
IP
parameters your com-
mand includes, each switch always affects the file immediately
preceding it. For example, if you type this:
p r
1
n t bud 9 e t / P
5
ale
5
r en tal
5 / C
I
ENTER)
MS-DOS adds the files Budget and Sales, but cancels the file
Rentals.
If you omit all parameters, PRINT displays the contents of the
print queue.
