Lets you
put
a
maximum
of
ten
files
in
the
print
queue,
so
that
MS-DOS prints
them
automatically while you process other MS-
DOS commands.
This
is called background printing. The
printer
must
be connected
and
ready.
Parameters
pathname is
the
name
of
the
file you
want
to print. The path-
name
can
include a drive reference
but
cannot
include direc-
tories. The file
must
be
in
the
current
directory of
the
drive
specified.
IC deletes (cancels) from
the
print
queue
the
file
that
immedi-
ately precedes
and
all files
that
follow
IC
in
the
command line.
IP adds to
the
print
queue (prints)
the
file
that
immediately pre-
cedes and all files
that
follow
IP
in
the
command line.
IT deletes (terminates) from
the
print
queue all files
that
are
there, waiting to be printed.
Regardless of
the
number
of IC
and
IP
parameters
your com-
mand
includes, each switch always affects
the
file immediately
preceding it. For example,
if
you type this:
p r 1 n t
bud
9 e t / P 5
ale
5 r
en
tal
5 / C I
ENTER)
MS-DOS adds
the
files Budget and Sales,
but
cancels
the
file
Rentals.
If
you omit all
parameters,
PRINT displays
the
contents of
the
print
queue.
