Unfortunately, that printer is attached to the UNIX - server which is not where the user usually is. In my case, it is - about 230 miles away. I needed a similar program that would - allow me to print to my home printer. - -The solution: The VT100 standard defines a printer on and off escape - sequence. [FYI: esc[5i is printer on, esc[4i is printer off.] - Lpansi is a VERY simple program that issues a printer on - sequence, opens the file sent as an argument, reads it character - by character, echos it to stdout (now your local printer) and - ends by sending a form feed and printer off command. - -Usage: I had several purposes in mind when I wrote this. The first was to - find a way to replace lp in a gopher client I had with something that - would print at home. I also wanted to be able to print text - files to my home printer directly from the UNIX prompt. A - natural extension of this is to add it to LYNX, and other printing - clients as your printer command. - -Syntax: lpansi - This program only accepts one filename as an argument, and not - command line options. It could be easily modified to accept more - but that will be up to you to do. It serves my needs. - -Thanks: Thanks go to Michael Seibel on the PINE development team for - helping me find the correct ANSI codes to turn off the printer. - I found out later that PINE distributes a similar program called - ansiprt which is supposed to do the same thing. Here, the source - code is provided so you may incorporate the concept directly in your - program. - -Disclaimer: [Everyone has one so...] I make no promises whatsoever about - how this will work for you. If you have VT100 and/or ANSI, it - should work just fine. If it doesn't, quit using it. :) This - program is free to use and modify, but try to keep my name with - it. I don't do that much cool stuff, so I need all the credit - I can get. Thanks. - - *** End of README for lpansi.c *** -- cgit 1.4.1-2-gfad0 b68e922aa92337efff9c8 (plain) (tree)
