  1. Windows Randomly Printing


    So i was writing some javascript using node.js the other night and i made a bat file to run the code easier, and in between 2 saves (i wrote it saved the bat file then added one more thing a bit later) it printed. i wasnt given any notificion something had printed or any print options or anything like that it just printed to my printer. I didnt even know until the next day my brother told me it printed and sure enough it was the bat file i was typing. Ive looked online and havent found anyone with a similar issue and it hasent happened again, and to my knowledge hasnt happened before. does anyone know what could have happened, or if im at some risk of security i dont have an ativirus i dont download many things. Thanks for any help u can give me.

    :)
