Hello folks
Does anyone know of any print redirector software which could be used
to print a host-based document to the users default Windows printer
under Cygwin/Xfree? We're looking at functionality similar to that
provided by programs like the old 'ansiprt' program under Pine. If the
user connected to the host using an SSH session with X11 tunnelling or
regular xterm session, they could do something like
host# cygprint output.log
on the host which would print the document to the users default Windows
printer.
Any pointers/tips appreciated - I realise the whole issue of printing
under X is a much larger issue, but was just curious if anyone knew of a
solution specific to Cygwin.
Thanks
Scotty
