Re: Printing locally

What kind of printer is it? If, for example, it's a Postscript printer and you cat plain text to it, you will get nothing. You would need to use enscript or a2ps to convert the plaint text to Postscript. Printing through Notepad would do this for you. Just a thought. --Rick --- Brian Salter-Duke

I don't have my cygwin machine handy, so I've got to ask: how about this: cat a.txt > /cygdrive/c/WINNT/lpt1 that's probably not the ultimate solution, but does it work? David On Sat, 2002-03-02 at 21:52, Brian Salter-Duke wrote: > On Sat, Mar 02, 2002 at 02:45:57AM -0500, Paul McFerrin wro

Printing locally.

Gygwin is a great product and it allows me to do much unix work but on top of windows. I am essentially a unix person. Now I am trying to simply print text mutt mail messages to a local printer plugged into the back of my machine, which is running Windows2000. I have read the FAQ and searched t
