I was just wondering if its possible to do command line printing, where something comes out of the printer. Is their a program in any language Linux likes that prints a document through a printer? I don't think it should make a difference but I'm using RH 8.
If you have a printer already setup, you can use
lp FILENAME
to send a file to the default printer. If your printer knows postscript, or you are using the CUPS lp system ,you can type
enscript FILENAME
to get a neat formatted copy
