Hi friends,

I am facing an issue while printing.My home printer is not working so i decided to save the file with .prn format and have a print out from outside.When i went out and gave a print command i got an error message as cannot print this file.

Sure i will help you out with this issue,Since you are not able to print the file it seems that .prn file is being corrupted.Try to open file by right click to highlight it and select print.
