I need to use the lpr command to copy a print file directly to a network printer. However, the lpr command does not seem to be included in 64-bit editions of Windows.

What can be done to solve this?

According to a list of Windows commands at about.com

[1] This command is not available in 64-bit versions of this operating system.

[2] This command is only available in this version of Windows when LPD Print Service is turned on from Windows Features.

The omissions of a 1 superscript after the Y suggests lpr can be made available by enabling the 'LPR Port Monitor' using 'Control Panel/Programs and Features/Turn Windows features on or off'.

lpr works great on Win 7 and up. You do not need to copy it. In Control Panel, go to 'turn windows features on or off' and make sure 'print and document services' are installed.

To use lpr to send a file to printer that uses the RAW protocol, the syntax is:

By copying the lpr* files from C:WindowsSystem32 on a 32-bit Windows machine, I was able to successfully run the lpr command on a 64-bit Windows machine.

I am hoping there is a better way, though...

Install Lpr Printer Windows 10

Recently (past few months), printing has become a major headache for me on my computer. I cannot figure out why it has become so painfully slow. It doesn't matter what application I use to generate the print job; it sends it to the spooler quite quickly. Once the spooler has it, it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes to get around to waking the printer up, then sometimes upwards of another 10 minutes to get around to actually sending the print job to the printer.

Printer: Brother DCP-8080DN

Connection: wired ethernet

This is from 2 different Windows 10 computers. From my Linux computer, print jobs are practically instant, just like they used to be from the Windows computers until a few months ago.

I have uninstalled and re-installed the Brother drivers multiple times trying to solve this. I have deleted and re-defined the IP printer ports (because if I don't, each time I re-install the printer I get yet another IP printer port since it refuses to all me to use an existing one!).

I have cleared the print spooler as noted in multiple other 'slow printing' articles such as:

Documents can be as simple as a 10 word sentence in notepad (raw text, nothing fancy) and still take 10-30 minutes to get around to actually printing, while I can send a full page photo from my Linux system and receive it in 30 seconds. I don't think the problem is with the printer.
