Julius,
My xterm works with transparent printing commands.
Turn on the printer port with \E[5i
and turn it off with \E[4i, just like vt100.
The following script will print to the printer:
echo -e "\033[5i"
echo "hello"
echo -e "\033[4i"
The printer is setup in the .Xdefaults file.
I've got mine setup like this:
xterm*printerCommand: lpr -Plaser
xterm*printAttributes: 0
xterm*printerFormFeed: false
xterm*printerAutoClose: true
This works with the standard xterm that is part of the XFree86
package on Redhat 7.2.
I hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
