[/S:timeslice] [/Q:qsize][/C][/T][/P] [[d:][path][filename]...]
FIRST USE ONLY:
/D:device specifies the device to PRINT to. Default is PRN; other
valid devices are LPTx (x=1,2,3) and COMx (x=1-4)
/B:bufize specifies the size of the buffer (in bytes). Default is 512,

while the print device is busy or unavailable. Default is 1

SUBSEQUENT USE
/C selects the cancel mode. Removes preceding filename and all
following filenames from the queue.
/T terminates the entire PRINT procedure. All files currently
being PRINTed will be cancelled.
/P sets the print mode. The preceding filename and any files
following /P will be added to the PRINT queue.
d: path filename... is a list of files to PRINT. wildcards are accepted.
The maximum length of a path and filename is 64 characters,
hence it may be neccessary to change directories before
issuing the command.
EXAMPLE: PRINT *.DOC /C
will cancel all files with an extension of DOC from the print queue.
EXAMPLE: PRINT TEST.DOC /C T.DOC /P
cancels TEST.DOC and adds T.DOC to the print queue.
