Special Edition Using Microsoft® Word 2000

Print

The PRINT field bypasses Windows to send coded PostScript printing instructions directly to a printer. This can be used to achieve certain sophisticated effects on a PostScript laser printer.

Note

This feature was originally designed for the HP LaserJet II and LaserJet III series and compatible printers; Microsoft warns that it may work inconsistently with other printers.

Syntax
