  Once I used this command:

  SHELL('copy simple.txt LPT1:');
  

  But only onto old versions.
  
  What version are you using?

  Or you can open the command promt and send below command

  'notepad /p '+ '<your txt file path>'

  You could use the Run-method of the 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell Automation type, but Notepad will show a message box where the user can abort the printing anyway.

  Hi ebsoft,
  
  I'm using Nav2009SP1. I get an error when I run it, that some characters are invalid, I think that is characters from path to the file.

  Hi mohana_cse06,
  
  I have tested with command prompt and it "works". The problem is, that it is after posting a sales order and after calling command prompt, I got an error, that the sales order cannot be found - probably because it has been posted.

  I guess you are writing in wrong place..
  
  Where did you write the code?

  I made a box solution where I need to print a file immediately after posting a in Navision. It must occur after posting, but if I do, then there are problems because another program is called to print the file.
