Print (command)

In computing, PRINT is a command in the command line interpreters (shells) of DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows. It is used to add a text file to the print queue. Because of the text file limitation it is not equivalent to the lpr command in the Berkeley printing system or the lp command in the System V printing system (both available in the CUPS printing system). The command was introduced in MS-DOS version 2. Another option to print files is to use the COPY command to copy files to one of the printer ports LPT1: to LPT3:.

Famous quotes containing the word print:

    Who should come to my lodge this morning but a true Homeric or Paphlagonian man,—he had so suitable and poetic a name that I am sorry I cannot print it here,—a Canadian, a woodchopper and post-maker, who can hole fifty posts in a day, who made his last supper on a woodchuck which his dog caught.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
