I'm not going to be porting LPR to mTCP anytime soon; I think about 4 people would have a use for it. However, if a printer supports JetDirect printing on port 9100, then mTCP netcat can be used. Simply have your program print to a file, then use netcat to send the file to the JetDirect port on your printer. Most network printers can do this.
The detailed instructions are in the mTCP PDF file. -Mike On Sat, Sep 17, 2022 at 12:57 AM Robert Riebisch <r...@bttr-software.de> wrote: > Hi Phil, > > > would certainly help.
