[comp.sys.atari.st] Calamus Printer I/O redirection

s883334@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (James Alan Hall) (05/22/91)

 Are there any utilities (preferrably public domain or shareware) to
intercept Calamus' printer output and direct it into a file instead ?
Calamus supports the HP Laser, but I have to go elsewhere to use this
printer. I need to be able to save the output Calamus sends to the port
and later on send it straight through to the HP Laser on another computer.

 James.

Calamus 1.09 writes directly to the port instead of using OS calls, so I suppose it will be very hard to redirect printer output to a file.
