Printing in a Network via Printserver
[1/2] from: moeller_thorsten::gmx::de at: 27-Apr-2001 12:29
Hi,
I think this topic has been discussed before, but printing out thigs is
still a required feature for many users of software.
I am running REBOL on a W2K-Box with Network-Printers reachable through
Prinserver via TCP/IP.
How can i make it possible to print a text from an simple
rebol-editor-button to one of these printers. I tried to modify the
printer.r from Andrew, but without success.
Any Ideas are welcome.

The line you might need to change is:
write %//prn Text
I've run it on a PC (Windows 98) and it works. I also ran it on a
Windows 95 PC attached to a Windows NT4 network and it works there as well
after I captured the printer ports (have to use window printer dialog IIRC)
and redirected them to the network printer.
It would be nice to find out other OS default plain text printer file
locations are (if that's understandable! :-).
