Printing to printer - Linux - LPRINT alternative?
#26
Wow. Makes me wish that Kevin's my solution hadn't been expunged from the Wiki. The one that works in Linux. The one that allows for printing to a printer. With opening a TCP/IP connection to the printer on port 9100 and sending raw data. The one that goes something like this:

Code: (Select All)
c = _OPENCLIENT("TCP/IP:9100:XXX.XXX.XXX") 'replace Xs with the IP address
DIM AS STRING formFeed: formFeed = CHR$(12)
IF c THEN
PUT c, , yourData$
PUT c, , formFeed
CLOSE c
END IF
'DISCLAIMER: I quickly rewrote this using the forum text editor. Edit for your own needs. You might have to also use CHR$(13) + CHR$(10). It depends on printer model. Good luck
Schuwatch!
Yes, it's me. Now shut up.
