[Gambas-user] How to sent a line line to a lp1 printer and form to lp0 printer directly.

[Demosthenes Koptsis]

these are shell commands, cat and echo
cat shows the contents of a file and echo print a string in screen
we use redirection which is >
to a device printer /dev/lp0 or lp1 or lp2 see what is your printer

To print a file you can write in shell or in gambas SHELL command the command
cat file > /dev/lp0

there must be a file with name "file" which contains what you want to print

or if you want to print a line straight use echo

if you type in a console echo "test" you see in console the word test,
so you redirect this to printer lp0 with this command

echo "test" > /dev/lp0
and you print it.

try them fisrt from a console and then use them with Gambas SHELL or EXEC
