The only disadavantage is that is has to open notepad to actually do that.

something else to test is;
'type filename.txt > PRN'

Which will re-direct to your default printer.

This is just annother of those things that windows dosen't really have.

And makes me wonder if anyone is good enough at C/C++ to write a simple one
to python interface with.
