make a program alias to a batch file in that batch file put the following
line:
type %1 > lpt1
this assumes the message is plain text <type> could be replaced with print
or whatever, and that you are printing to LPT1. More complicated
arrangements can be made if you have a win32 program you can change the
default file handler function to print on. For example set word to be the
default handler for txt files and to print rather than open *.txt files then
do the following in your batch:
copy %1 %1.txt
start %1.txt
sleep 30
del %1.txt
Then the file would be opened by word which would print it to the default
printer (which could be on the network) and you could do the same to export
to an HTML handler as well. You can use this to do way cool stuff if you
play with it!
