2Printer by fCoder is a professional command-line interface (CLI) software designed to automate batch printing projects without requiring a graphical user interface (GUI). Tailored for system administrators, software developers, and power users, it allows users to automate the printing of over 90 file types—including PDFs, Microsoft Office files, CAD drawings, images, and emails—directly from the Windows Command Prompt, PowerShell, or custom scripts. By utilizing simple text-based commands, users can program complex, hands-free print jobs (e.g., specifying duplexing, printer trays, and page ranges) and schedule them to run unattended via Windows Task Scheduler. Key Capabilities & Features
2Printer offers a wide range of parameters and switches to control exactly how documents are sent to local, network, or virtual printers.

Support for 90+ Formats: Automates printing for Adobe PDFs, Word (DOC/DOCX), Excel (XLS/XLSX), PowerPoint, AutoCAD (DWG/DXF), HTML pages, and various image formats.
