First you must share the printer, let's say as "MyPrinter" In command prompt you must write: net use LPT1 \\server_name_or_IP\MyPrinter /PERSISTENT: YES Now you can acces the printer as LPT1, from Fox
No, DOS is command based only - not Windows based which is a graphic user interface.
Dos
While most people today would probably think MS-DOS is something really complicated and hard to use, it is based upon simple concepts, and day to day use is extremely simple, once the initial system is set up. To launch a program, all you need to do is type its name. The program will then launch. Depending on the program, it may have all of the other features you'd expect to find in a more modern GUI. The hardest aspect of MS-DOS is probably memory management, but this is not something a typical user needs to fiddle with too much.
that would be DOS
MS-DOS was initially released in 1981 for the Intel 8086 and 8088 based processors. There are no software requirements for MS-DOS as it is a stand-alone operating system. MS-DOS is compatible with x86 systems.
Set the printer as the default image printing device, in the DOS window type print D:Devicename Filename | echo. & echo Could not print. & echo. & pause
Maybe it does execute, but in a temporary MS-DOS window, which is closed when program's terminated. Run your program from a separate MS-DOS window (Start/Run: CMD.EXE)

Win2000 is based soley on NT technology. This eliminated the need to have DOS running in the background.
you have to use the command prompt(also called the DOS prompt by older users. You can find this by going to "start" , "programs" , "accessories" and "command prompt"
DOS is just the operating system just like Windows XP. DOS SHELL is a program in DOS in which you can browse files and open them, etc. Just generally an easier way to move around the DOS operating system
you must go to the Microsoft website and download Windows Easy Transfer
i think this function is not available in ms dos . you can access the .txt files through dos and you can also able to print them through dos. if you are going to just open doc file than simply open dos drag and drop that file to ms- dos window after that hit enter and it will open.
It's just a nasty trick to prevent the DOS-shell-window from closing when the program terminates. It's strictly for homeworks/school-projects, do not do it in real programs.
That program might not support MS-DOS..
You can use a DOSBox It´s a program that emulate dos environment on Vista SeaMeWork
