To use Python like this, you need to first fun the python command, and get a >>> prompt :

C:\Users\Lumep>python

Python 3.9.13 (tags/v3.9.13:6de2ca5, May 17 2022, 16:36:42) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> print ("Hello, Python!");

Hello Python

>>>

What you were trying was to run the Windows O/S print command which by default prints a named file to the PRN device - which is not what you wanted at al.

Hi,

I am trying to teach myself python. Could you please help identify a pdf document with tutorials to set up python and start programming. I think I have installed it properly but the commands are not recognised. For example:

C:\Users\Lumep>print ("Hello, Python!");
Unable to initialize device PRN

Thank you

G Vera
