You are welcome to it. I tried a bite and it is totally bland.

You get a new printer...
Even I don't know if that's more of a joke, serious recommendation, or both.
I don't think there is any special command. No printout = serial port settings are probably wrong. Does the printer react at all when you try to send it a print job?

If you direct connect to com1, copy test.txt>prn I think.
I haven't done that in so many years, the last time I did it, I fell off my dinosaur -

Well, neither do I. It's not exactly common knowledge, so ask the person? I'd hope they have documentation online on what to do, because I don't think you can just pipe text into a printer.

Hmmm. Make a something.txt with a message. Check your devices and see what the printer is named and what port it is connected to. If I remember correctly, the command is copy something.txt>prn or whatever your printer is named. You could do to the com port as well. If it was connected to your 1st parallel port it would be copy something.txt>lpt1. Why the name vs port, I can remember but I do know that it worked when we had impact printers.
