in thread Printing to Local Windows Printer

There is indeed a printer output option in my telnet client. What I am doing is opening a printer port in unix and printing to a specific printer. Here is the initial line: open (LPR,"|lp -dpclaser -s"); where "pclaser" is the printer name. We also have some "C" programs running here. You can select the "local" option in these programs and the output will be to the printer connected to the telnet client.

    If you want to / are able to set up a print queue for your local printer, there are lpd daemons available for win32.

    However, the way that programs print to the local printer without setting up a print queue is to use the terminal's escape sequences to divert output on the local side (your telnet client) to the printer. See my above post.
