Hi Dave.
Possibly. IIRC, a .PRN file is the result of a "print to file" in Windows, so the format of the file will depend on which printer was selected when it was generated. Do you know what sort of printer was selected?
I'm sure you are right, but I can't remember what gives the .prn fomr. It is a file that could be sent directly to a HP Laser printer.
If you had the HP printer selected, then it will be a format suitable for that printer - probably PCL. I'm not sure whether you will get it to work, but assuming you've got your printer installed under Linux, try: lpr -Pprintername filename.prn or, assuming you've got the printer connected to the first parallel port: cat filename.prn > /dev/lp0 HTH... -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
