PUB: How to Print a Publication from a Command Line

MORE INFORMATION

To print a publication from a command line:

1. On the Start menu, click Run, or open an MS-DOS prompt.
2. Type the following command and press ENTER, substituting the appropriate values for <path> (the location of Mspub.exe), <path2> (the location of the file you want to print), and <filename> (the name of the file you want to print):

   <path>\mspub.exe /p <path2>\<filename>.pub

   Be sure to put long filenames in quotation marks. Here are three sample command lines:

   c:\mspub\mspub.exe /p c:\document\report.pub
   
   "c:\program files\microsoft publisher\mspub.exe" /p c:\test.pub
   
   c:\mspub\mspub.exe /p "c:\my documents\july newsletter.pub"

You will see the Publisher Print dialog box. Make sure that the settings are the ones you want and click OK.

NOTE: If you type the name of a publication that does not exist, Publisher will display its File Open dialog box. If you cancel this, Publisher will print a blank page to your printer.
