Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.

PRINT──Notes
Length of a PRINT queue entry
Each print queue entry can contain a maximum of 64 characters. Each queue
entry includes the drive letter, directory, and any subdirectories.
Limitations on switches
You can only use the /D, /B, /U, /M, /S, and /Q switches the first time you
use the PRINT command after starting MS-DOS. To use one of these switches
after using PRINT, you need to restart MS-DOS.
Use an application's print command when possible
Many applications have their own print commands. You should use an
application's print command to print files that you create with the
application.
