How about compatibilty? I'd like this program to run on many different
platforms like Linux and Windows and to work with many different
printers. I'd hate to prompt the user asking him what operating system
he is using.

Linux is /dev/printer and /dev/lp0 - DOS/Windows is /prn and /lpt1.
Too bad this isn't built into REBOL -- it would be nice to work with a
graphical printer device that has its own REBOL dialect, i.e. line 430
280 449 298, and text 240 178 "Hello World". Whoah, combined with
REBOL/View, somebody could write a web browser complete with printing.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
Later,
Eric
