Also, under NT/2K, there is no default device PRN: defined unless you do so explicitly; you can reference defined targets only. If PRN: is undefined, as is normal for NT, then it blows up just like sending to COM7: on a machine that doesn't have a COM7:

Try LPT1: to send to the physical first printer port on the machine.
