[Dev-C++] Output to printer

[Lloyd A. <ll...@ea...>]

When using this code below is there a different code other than "PRN" to
send the code to the printer.

I have tried USB001 where a printer is attached.  Using Windows XP.

 

#include <fstream.h>

int main()

{

 char* s1 = "\nToday's winning number is  ";

 int n1 = 17982;

 ofstream outfile;

 outfile.open("PRN");

 outfile << s1 << n1 << endl;

 outfile << '\x0D';

  return 0;

}

 

 

Thanks Lloyd

Also found this. But you really should use google yourself :)


Use the ostream class (cout is an ostream) This should work for both a =
CONSOLE and a Windows application.=20
Advantages: Easy printing of simple text.=20

Disadvantages: Can only print to local printer.=20

Code:=20

filebuf fb( "prn:" ); // Filebuf object attached to "prn:"
cout =3D &fb; // fb associated with cout=20
cout << "testing"; // Text goes to PRN: not stdout
