Hello support,
If archive contains file with special name (such as prn, lpt1, com1,
con, etc) it will be extracted to this device instead of file. Tested
with pkzipc, WinRAR, rar, WinZip, tar (cygwin port under windows). In
case of WinZip and tar file will be extracted silently, in other cases
overwrite confirmation required.
This problem is only DOS/Windows specific. Tested on Windows NT/2000.
To test: make sure PRN: (usually PRN: is an alias to LPT1:) is
functioning (that is you have printer connected to LPT1) and try to
extract attached ZIP, TAR or RAR archive. It should print 1 page on
PCL-compatible printer.
