@subsection How do I print under Cygwin?
|
||||
|
||||
In lieu of a comprehensive FAQ entry (which will come soon), there are a
|
||||
couple of messages from the mailing list archives that may be helpful.
|
||||
Start at @file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-04/msg00657.html}.
|
||||
Jason Tishler has written a couple of messages that explain how to use
|
||||
a2ps (for nicely formatted text in PostScript) and ghostscript (to print
|
||||
PostScript files on non-PostScript Windows printers). Start at
|
||||
@file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-04/msg00657.html}. Note that the
|
||||
@samp{file} command is now available as part of Cygwin setup.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, on NT, you can use the Windows @samp{print} command. (It
|
||||
does not seem to be available on Win9x.) Type
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
bash$ print /\?
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
for usage instructions (note the @samp{?} must be escaped from the
|
||||
shell).
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you can simply @samp{cat} the file to the printer's share name:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
bash$ cat myfile > //host/printer
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
You may need to press the formfeed button on your printer or append the
|
||||
formfeed character to your file.
