Subject: Can GNU cobol write lines of print out to a cannon paper
printer? Now?
Year ago I tried GNU cobol and It(like c++) could not write lines
to a paper printer(cannon laser printer).
Can GNU now write lines to a cannon printer, just as my microsoft
word and c# can?
Yes, and as far as I know has been for a long time - you just have to learn
the various tricks.
For systems that use Cups and under Linux I have not found any issues other than printer related.
Set SELECT to LS with a file name.
Set up a var for the command for lpr (in full as required).
After closing the print files issue lpr address to the correct printer or class.
If you have detailed formatting for printer requirements use the text file
as input to scribe and use it or via .pdf etc to print.
Similar for OSX, windoz.
