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 it was a PostScript printer, then it should be pretty easy; if not, but you have that printer connected to you Linux box, you might be able to get it to print, otherwise you're probably stuck.
I have a HP Laserjet 1100A, but would be nice if I just could command from the linux prompt to get the file printed out. The file contents a PCB_Layout.
If you are using cups you can send the file directly to the printer with the -o raw flag. This will bypass any filtering normally imposed by Cups. e.g. lpr -P <printer> -o raw <filename> -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
