I tried both modifying the printer thru shift-F7,Select,Edit,Port,Filename
then shift-F7 print and I also tried cntrl-F5 text and cntrl-F5 generic

I did a 'copy /b file prn'.

None of them produced graphics.  I'm using a systemizer by Applied Creative
Technology as a print buffer to my HP LaserJet II.
I'm using DOS 3.20.

Could the printer matter?
Or is there something eles one needs to do inside the file?
