Printing: PRINT command

The print command in step 2 can be modified as follows:

To print a file that is not displayed on screen, type print followed by a space and then the path, name and extension of the file to be printed. If there are spaces in the name of the file or the folder (or subfolder), you must use quotes as shown in the second example below:

print c:\nbwin\document\filename.nb

print "c:\nbwin\document\file name.nb"

To print even and odd pages of a displayed file, type print followed by a space and a comma, and then o for odd or e for even. For example, to print all odd pages of the currently displayed file, type the following:

print ,o

To print multiple copies of a displayed file, type print followed by a space and a forward slash, and then the number of copies to be printed. For example, to print two copies of the currently displayed file, type the following:

print /2

To print selected pages of an open file, type print followed by a space, then a comma, then the pages to be printed. Use a hyphen between the beginning and end of a range of pages and use a forward slash to separate non-contiguous pages or ranges. For example, to print pages 2 through 10, 16, and 30 through 50, use the following command:

print ,2-10/16/30-50
