Can I reprint a spool file?

Question

Is there a way to reprint a spool file?

I can't find any example or article to say if there is a way or not.

edit: when i say reprint it, i mean to the same printer

Answer 1

Yes you can. Read the complete SPL file into a byte array and have a look at this article:

It shows you how to send raw data to a printer. Use that to send your byte array to the printer. Beware: a SPL file can actually contain various data types, such as EMF, PCL, ESC-P etc. Your must make sure that the format of the SPL file you have is appropriate for your specific printer.
