Hi SidBord:
In my experience, the Print To File command generates a binary file, and is to be used when you want to print the file to a specific printer later (because the specific printer may not be available at that time or location, or for whatever other reason).
Then when you finally do want to print the file to that specific printer, you copy the file as a binary file to the printer as in the following command line when the file is being copied to the printer attached to LPT1 ...
copy filename /b LPT1
If I have misunderstood the question, my apologies!
