I am not too sure how do you transfer that file

the product you need is called DPCI - allows for remote print
from DOS to apollo network + file sharing + terminal emulation.
DPCI works on ethernet, ring or rs232; you need both pc end (client)
and apollo end (server)

ask your local hp support or e-mail me if you need more info
