Re: vim and printing

* Bryan Cassidy:

 All this  talk about vim  made me  wonder something.. BTW, I  love vim
 compared to vi. Don't know what it  is yet but I felt very comfortable
 and confident using it. I was just  wondering. Is there a way to print
 with a command  inside vi? Sometimes I would just like  to print the
 file and don't want to quit, save, and print it.

The command you are looking for is called: hardcopy
