User Command to Print Selected Path/Filename(s)?

Post by dpupello »

Hello,

I often have a need to quickly print the selected file(s) Path & Filename. Of course I know how to Alt-C, Control-P and I even have Ninotech's Path Copy program.

Just wondering if someone could figure out a User Command (such as Alt-2) -- or any method -- that would just straight away print the selected file(s) Path & Filename without any other user interaction.

Note that I'm not asking for a print of a DIR listing, only the path & filename of the selected file(s). And of course you can do it manually by pasting the clipboard into Editor2 and printing it that way.

Finally, the ideal solution would not have to map LPT1 to a Windows printer share, but if it must be, it must be :) Would be great just to print it to the default Windows printer.

Thanks in advance for any answer. Cheers.

isn't that a bit wasteful of paper, one file per page? :)
you could do something like

$ echo $F > prn:

but i never managed to print from windows using "prn" or "lpt1"
