Hi all,

Is there a way to do the following:

print('myfile.m');

will print out the "myfile.m" to the default printer with default 
configurations...

How can I do that from within Matlab?

SYSTEM   Execute system command and return result.

so you your system command to print. on doz, type   system('print myfile.m')
on linux/unix do  system('lpr myfile.m'), on VMS do system('print myfile.m') 
etc....

or you can use !

I am using Windows. The DOS solution is a little bit poor... any better 
solutions? Thanks a lot! 

Mike,

you may want to have a look at Printfil. Printfil runs in background on your 
tray area and can automatically send your 'myfile.m' to the choosen Windows 
printer as soon as it appears in a specified directory, without using the 
'system()' command.

More info and a free trial version is available for download at 
http://www.printfil.com

This software is too complicated, and not free!

The support file here might be of use to you.

Especially the section titled: Using the print command. There is a
note:

As of MATLAB R13, the additional option of providing the Windows
printer name is available via the -P option.

Hope this help.

Thanks but we are not talking about printing of figures, we are talking 
about printing of source codes, or any text files under a certain 
directory...
