Solution 1

Printing[^]

Copying can be done a few ways. Start with

copy c:\file.txt c:\file2.txt

and read this[^].

You can create a batch (.bat) or command (.cmd) file to carry out a series of command line instructions.

Do you actually need DOS command? I ask because you call notepad.exe, which isn't a DOS command - it is standard Windows application. I would suggest creating batch file and placing two commands inside: one should copy file, and another - print it.

Like, create file "MyCopyAndPrint.bat":
COPY %1 %2
TYPE %1 > PRN

You call this batch file like

MyCopyAndPrint.bat <FileName> <Destination>

There may be variations of the syntax: XCOPY[^] instead of COPY[^], quotes around "%1" and "%2" (which are source and destination, respectively), usage of PRINT[^] command instead of redirecting output to PRN or LPTx[^] devices... the result is basically the same :)
