Problem

Symptoms: What is the difference between the DOS commands Print and Copy when printing out a document that has been printed to disk? Solutions: The Print command writes directly to the default port address, bypassing the print BIOS. Copy uses the print BIOS information based on the direction of its output (i.e., LPT1). WordPerfect's Print to Hardware Port option also bypasses the Print BIOS and prints directly to the port address specified, thus, it is similar to the Print command.
