Printing to printer - Linux - LPRINT alternative?

[desA]

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

Awesome approach. Thank you.
