[REBOL] Re: How to print a document

Hi Scott,fellow Rebolers,
i ran into the same problem as Francois a while ago. OK, Rebol is a
messaging language per definition, but that should not exclude printing in
all environments. I was *NOT* able to get the %//prn stuff to work for me as
i don't have an local attached printer. I only have network-printer at my
service, but they didn't care about any printing command from my W2K box at
all. So what can i do?
Telling the users, sorry you can Mail your results anywhere, but printing?
No, sorry.
And the App has lost before coming to live.
Poeple want to print out things today as in the past, necessary or not,
regardless what the future will bring.
Andrew made a neat little tool for printing, but what does it help with no
local printer. OR is it a W2K problem? No, W98, same problem!
In many companies there are lots of network-printers, which could be used. I
wondered why this is not a problem for other programmers?
Any comments out there?
Thorsten

Yes, it is a neat language.

write %//prn "Hello, World!"
or, for larger documents
mydoc: {Hello, really big World!}
