Accessing a printer using DOS

Connecting to a printer

net use lpt1: \\hostname\printername

1	net use lpt1: \\hostname\printername

Sending a file to the printer

copy test.txt lpt1:

1	copy test.txt lpt1:

Removing the printer share

net use lpt1: /DELETE

1	net use lpt1: /DELETE

Here’s a dos command that I use to merge multiple text files into a single text file:

for %%f in (*.txt) do type "%%f" >> combinedFile.txt

1	for %%f in (*.txt) do type "%%f" >> combinedFile.txt
