In computing, PRINT is a command in the command line interpreters (shells) of DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows. It is used to add a text file to the print queue.[1] Because of the text file limitation it is not equivalent to the lpr command in the Berkeley printing system or the lp command in the System V printing system (both available in the CUPS printing system).[2][3] The command was introduced in MS-DOS version 2.[4] Another option to print files is to use the COPY command to copy files to one of the printer ports LPT1: to LPT3:.
