I want to print to the standard printer output (indicated by PRN) from a DOS
program. Therefore, I would like to be able to 'redirect' the standard
printer output to a specific (physical) printer device, which may be
connected to a parallel port or USB port.
How can I instruct Windows/MS-DOS box to print to a specific device?

Reactions via email are highly appreciated.
