I want to send a PS file directly from a windows 2000 box to a tcp/ip port on a printer. Netcat works fairly nicely for doing a network send like this, but unfortunately the windows port of it doesn't know when its done sending (sounds weird, i know) or maybe i just can't figure it out. I have to use ctrl+c to end the program, and then the file prints on the printer. What I would like is a program that does the same network copy but terminates itself when it is done, or an explanation of how to get netcat to do the same.

Thanks in advance,

Cheyney
