Printing to printer - Linux - LPRINT alternative?
#2
Welcome to the forums.

Sadly QB64 is too Windows-focused. We cannot wait until we die until this functionality is included.

What do you want to commit to paper? Could you use GIMP or Libre Office for it? Yes I know, it sounds lame.

Damn not even _CLIPBOARDIMAGE? I wanted to propose that so at least the image to copy to clipboard is pasted into GIMP and printed.

It might be possible to pipe image output to some other program that does the printing.

This might have good food:

In QB64, you use SHELL command to execute a command meant for the terminal. It's like "system()" for C run-time libraries, GAWK and other programming utilities, it requires a valid string as if it were typed directly at the terminal. With SHELL you use HIDE option if you don't want to see a "bash" box on the screen while the command executes. Such as:

Code: (Select All)
SHELL HIDE "mycommand myparameters -optoan blah blah"
