I'm trying to lock the control panel on a HP 4200 series printer. I have located the Printer Job Language I need to send to the printer to do but I'm unsure exactly how to get the PJL to the printer. The only thing I've come across is to use any ASCII editor.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
 
If you want to 'send' a print stream held in a file (myfile.prn) to the printer, then from a command-prompt (DOS) session:

(a) if it is parallel-port connected:

copy /b myfile.prn LPT1:

(b) if it is USB-connected:

copy /b myfile.prn \\computer-name\printer-share-name

(c) if it is network-connected:

lpr -S printer-IP-address -P any myfile.prn
