Just right click on the printer and choose "Work Offline" and all the
documents will be spooled locally.  Then, when you are ready to print
them, force the print queue back on line, and the will all go...

Subject: [windows2000] Print to file on a network printer


A large portion of my day is spent walking to and from a network
printer, and if I don't get there in time it goes into the inevitable
pile that I have to sort through and get my stuff. 
So I was playing around with the "print to file" option. I thought I
could create a folder on my desktop called PRN. Then when printing
whatever I needed, just save it to that folder. Then when ready I could
just print them all.
After googling a bit the only stuff that came up was with a local
printer connected to LPT1 etc. so I figured I could just substitute the
network address for the printer but when I do, it just creates a PRN
file in the folder.
The line I am using is:

COPY my_chart.prn LPT1 /B changed
to
COPY my_chart.prn //networkprintername /B

Any ideas??
