Hi Todd. Thanks for the reply. As an FYI, you can do the same thing with the KDE print system as well with the kprinter wrapper application.
try cat file.txt | kprinter --stdin (optionally with --nodialog) or kprinter file.txt I use kprinter in this manner with all of my non-KDE apps (Crossover primarily but also Mozilla & OpenOffice) David -----Original Message----- From: Todd Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 2:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] mozilla and printing -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 JOHAM,DAVID (HP-Boise,ex1) wrote on Tue, Mar 11, 2003 at 01:50:26PM -0800 : > > Looking at the screenshots on the xpp homepage, my first impression of the > interface was that it wasn't as polished or user-friendly as KDE's printing > system. However, that's just a first impression.... Recently, kde seems to have added many of the features that were previously only available in xpp (ie integration with cups). In the old days, when you printed, you printed to the default printer. Then xpp came along and you could just pipe the output to xpp and you could choose the printer you wanted to print to. Now, the cups integration allows you to select which printer you want directly from the kde print dialog. At this point, I still prefer to use xpp because I can do things like: cat file.txt | xpp -or- xpp file.txt Blue skies...
