I need to use the lpr command to copy a print file directly to a network printer. However, the lpr command does not seem to be included in 64-bit editions of Windows.
What can be done to solve this?
Answer
According to a list of Windows commands at about.com
Command MS-DOS Win 98 Win XP Win Vista Win 7
Lpr N Y Y Y² Y²
[1] This command is not available in 64-bit versions of this operating system.
[2] This command is only available in this version of Windows when LPD Print Service is turned on from Windows Features.
The omissions of a 1 superscript after the Y suggests lpr can be made available by enabling the "LPR Port Monitor" using "Control Panel/Programs and Features/Turn Windows features on or off".
