Is there some way to get/direct the screen to the printer in telnet from CUTCP? I suppose a person could always save to a capture file and then somehow send the file to the printer. Is there a way to print the screen to the printer or echo the screen to the printer? Any pointers will be appreciated.

This works with the latest NCSA Telnet so i should work with CUTCP. // Gunnar =============================================================================== Gunnar Dahlstrom Chalmers University of Technology Div.

If you want to make it permanent, go into config.tel and enter this line: capfile=PRN There may be an existing capfile definition, so be sure to find it and modify it if it exists. CUTCP is smart enough that the VT100 printer control codes will open and close the capture file. We use it here to provide "local" printing to a printer attached to a user's PC. --- Jim Gaynor - AgVAX System Manager - Academic Computing - Ohio State University VMS:<gaynor@agvax2.ag.ohio-state.edu> UNIX:<gaynor@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> Disclaimer : All opinions expressed here are mine and only mine.
