Wouldn't that pause all the printing from other users? Victor A.

Then, when you are ready to print them, force the print queue back on line, and the will all go...

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?? Victor A.
