= command for type abc.txt>prn (Dos command) 1

[shanmugham]

i have a text file abc.txt
i have only dot matrix printer
i want to print that file

i tried through vb code with line input command it works fine

but the problem is our printer prints each character
by half and half(double times in each chr) like Doc print type

but in dos command
======================
type abc.txt>prn
======================
it print each character by a single impression
its fine

i tried opening that text file thru notepad
it works but the problem is, it print file names and page number. how to solve the problem

so i need equivalent command for
the above DOS Command

thanks in advance
