Print a Directory Listing

We can print a list of our files in our directory by instructing DOS to send the information to our printer.
 
Directions:
1. Type: dir>prn and press Enter.
2. The > symbol stands for output. The PRN stands for printer.
 
NOTE:
We can print a wide listing of our files by typing dir/w>prn
 
Laserjet printers and other sheetfeeder printers will not eject the page after the dir>prn command. We must take the printer off-line and press the form feed button. Remember to press the on-line button when we are done in order to continue using the printer.
