How to send a file to a specified LPT device using Visual C++ 6.0.

The idea:

char lpBuf[80]="just test";
int u=_open(_T("LPT1"),_O_BINARY | _O_RDWR);
write(u,lpBuf,80);
_close(u);

Sir,
What I want is this
We have a dos command like this
type a.txt > LPT1
I want to do the same but by some other means so that the program doesn't have to enter the DOS prompt

Try the example. If you want to send file, just replace lpBuf in _write() with pointer to buffer where you have loaded in memory file.

Did I missunderstand something?
