if you are using windows 2000, you can use the 'lpr' command. on the unix side, a named pipe would be nice for this, but i don't think it will work in windows. try making a pipe for printing then redirecting STDOUT, again, not sure if these things work in win32: open PRINTER, "| lpr -S printserver"; # print PRINTER "blah, blah"; close PRINTER; -- # here is the part that i am not sure about in windows open(STDOUT, ">&PRINTER") or die "Cannot redirect STDOUT: $!"; --
