I see there are a couple of requests for help with
printing from the command prompt. We used to be able to
print by typing dir > prn or lpt1. Not any more. If I try
to print to a text file, do I create a file or simply name
the file when using the dir > redirect?

If the printer is a USB device outputting data in a command shell sends to
LPT1: If the device is attached to LPT1: , the prn and LPT1: redirection
should still function. You can also name the file and use notepad to print
it.
