[comp.lang.c] screen dump using "C" to Apple laser printer

vluu@milton.u.washington.edu (Khiet Vu) (11/02/90)

I need some advice about how to do a dump screen from an application
program, which is written in "C".  What I want to do is to print
what one sees on the screen to an Apple laser printer. Is it possible
to do this task in "C"?

Also, does any one know what does the IBM 80386 clone needs to be
able to print normal text file on the apple laserwriter printer?

Thanks in advance
Hien Luu

	If you are using MS-DOS (you mention a 386 below), use INT 05  
	to accomplish the task.
