Can you redirect output to printer device with echo?

[Jeffro]

Newbie question:
echo ^f > lpt1: or echo ^f > prn:
^f = formfeed....
I type the command mode /status command
It reported that I have only a con: and com1: device...?

There is no printer device in Windows (that's a leftover concept from the days of DOS), so there's nothing you can redirect to.

You need to redirect to a file, and then print that file. (See the TCC PRINT command.)
