[Gambas-user] Is there an Lprint equivalent

[nando]

Same issue for me but it was for a printer connected serially 
(a point of sale printer)
I used the serial component, created an instance and WRITE to it
directly.  I did this with computers with serial ports and without
where I used a USB to serial converter.  Works wonderful.

As for parallel, for direct chars out, I think it is easier to 
use a USB to parallel port converter and WRITE chars to the USB port.
This is closest to the old QB days of direct printing.

When you plug in a usb to something, it becomes a device names something like
/dev/ttyUSB0  (or 1 or 2...)
