Public bug reported:
How do I do Transparent or pass-through printing (slave printing)?
Many terminals, and just about all terminal emulators, have the ability to do
"local" printing. It's sometimes called "transparent printing" or
"pass-through", but the idea is that if the terminal sees a special key
sequence, it will start sending the data out some other port (parallel or
serial) until it sees some sequence that tells it to stop.
You can find the start-stop sequences in /etc/termcap: PN is the sequence to
start local print; PS is the sequence to stop. For example, if you look at the
vt100 entry, you'll see:
:PN=\E[5i:PS=\E[4i:\
If you have a graphical printer on the linux lan, you can print the text file
by external programs like gtklp, lp etc..
Thank you.
Corrado
