Vista - printing a file created by the windows printing dialog (print to f

Hi,

I have printed a PDF-File by using the Windows print dialog using the option
"print to file".

In the windows command processor I can print this file with:
copy /b "c:\test.prn" \\servername\printername

The question now was, how can I do this in powershell?

My idea was:
get-content -path "c:\test.prn" | out-printer

But this only works if the file is a textfile.
A switch like /b (binary) as for the copy-command dosent exist in powershell.
I think a similar parameter for the get-content cmdlet should be -encoding,
but there is no value possible that equals binary.

Has anybody an idea how to get the problem solved?

Many thaks in advance.

jho

powershell have full support for CMD command. As example:
cmd /c "copy /b "c:\test.prn" \\servername\printername"

Get-Content cmdlet has -Encoding paramter in PowerShell V2. In PowerShell
