When I printed a document, I chose "print to file" and saved the .prn file
in a folder. Now how di I get this .prn file printed on paper? Also, is the
.prn file printable to any printer? Thanks for your help !!

At the MS-DOS prompt or the command prompt , assuming that the file you are about to
print is called my_chart.prn and your printer is connected to LPT1: parallel port
number one, type: COPY my_chart.prn LPT1 /B. Press the ENTER key.
