[Dev-C++] RE: Printing

[CARLSON, J. M. <CA...@st...>]

After doing many hours of web surfing.  I found the best option for printing
(from a console) is to write everything to a file, then open the file under
notepad, or wordpad and print from there.  I guess the reason is GUI's are
so popular (ie Windows), printers need drivers and most are only supplied
with window drivers now, (and linux if your lucky!)   It may be possible to
redirect the entire file output to the printer from dos using something like
"c:\filename.exe >> lpt1" or something like that.  If anyone has the exact
details that would be great.  I also found some information on using inp
outp or inport outport for communicating through various ports.  In this way
the printer might be fed some data.  But there are just too many unknowns
for me to take a stab at.
