Hi all, I have this old printer IBM Proprinter III
ProPrinters were the printer of choice in the early years (i don't know the english
word for a printer which is not inkjet nor laserjet nor bubblejet...)
dot matrix
and I would like to use it to print the source of my programs. How can I configure the printer device in order to use it?
Proprinters were designed for "text" world before that existed before windows - little or no configuration is necesary except for the printcap setup (and you can probably `cat <filename.txt> > /dev/lp1' without even setting up the printcap..) and the BEST NEWS is... you can still find printer ribbons PS you'll need ghostscript for postscript (but you probably knew that..) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
