OS-Copy <FileName> PRN

[modig]

On Windows 11 - OS-Copy <FileName> PRN is failing with an Access Denied error.
Any work around or suggestion?

Do you have read access to the source and write access to the target?

In other words, what happens when you try this from the shell with the same user context? If it also results in an access denied error, that would mean it isn't an OE/ABL issue. Do both at the same time (ABL and cmd) so that you know the access issue isn't transient.

Yes, agree this is not OE/ABL issue definitely it is Win11 related issue but surprisingly NO clue or hint on the web abt such weird behavior.
In case someone has some clue on it.

The workaround is to "copy" the file using the UNC name for the device.

OS-COPY filename \\machinename\printersharename

(can be the same machine you are printing from or some oher machine on the same network).
PRN, LPT1, COM1 etc "access" has been limited since VISTA came out.

You are welcome
