I am trying to submit a text file containing printer instructions to a printer connected to a USB port. If I go to Start/Run and key in 'CMD', I am at the command prompt. from here I can key in...

TYPE C:\ShippingLabelFiles\FedEx\120505134156.txt > 10.6.73.217\Zebra-TLP2844-Z

It's the Dos TYPE command. 120505134156.txt contains the printer instructions. 10.6.73.217 is the PC IP address. Zebra-TLP2844-Z is the Printer's Shared name.

This prints the FedEx label.
HOW DO I DO THIS FROM C#.NET?
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I'm not sure if there's any direct way of executing DOS commands from C#.NET.
I think making a batch file for such an operation would be a much cleaner
option, that is if you havent done that already. Later on you can run this
batch file from your C# app, because that CAN be done from C#.

Refer to this post, it may help u
