copy Ec
&l5X > LPT2
You can correct that by placing a carat (^) in front of the &


Secondly the copy command is used to copy the contents of one file or device to another and does not copy characters in the command line itself. You want the echo command.


Try this instead:
echo Ec^&l5X>LPT2
' at: ''

Hello,

      I am trying to create a batch file to run that will change the number of copies on a HP9000 dn printer.I have found the control commands, the batch file reads as follows

copy Ec(escape charcter ,a left arow ?)&l5X > LPT2    where LPT2 is mapped to the network printer.When I run the HPCOPY.bat file in a command prompt it says

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

        0 file(s) copied.

'l2X' is not recognized as an internal or external command,



I know it is a bit simple for you guys,but can you help me please?
