C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents>copy t.txt prn:
"prn:" is not a recognized device.
The system cannot find the file specified.

C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents>copy t.txt lpt1:
"lpt1:" is not a recognized device.
The system cannot find the file specified.

	And...

C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents>copy t.txt CN3BSFVGP805ZZ:
"CN3BSFVGP805ZZ:" is not a recognized device.
The system cannot find the file specified.

	That's the port name associated with my HP printer when looking at the
control panel properties.

	LPT1: appears to be linked to "Quicken PDF Printer" in the port list,
but is not available from command line.
