First, let me say that I appreciate anyone helping me out here. I am using NT on a Microsoft Network with HP Laser Printers and I have a need to print out some pcl files in their entirety. I have no clue of how I can go about this. I've read several pages of this forum and I think my head is spinning :(

Can anyone please let me know how I can accoplish this?

Best Regards,

Chris
 
You just need to copy the file over to the printer. There are many ways to do this, here are a couple.

printer with LPD.
lpr -S <IP Address> -P <queue> myfile.pcl

printer on SMB share with captured lpt2 port
copy myfile.pcl lpt2

Have fun,
