hi net,
i just dicovered that i could print email messages directly from within
pine to my HP5MP printer, which was only set up to do postscript
printing. i'm just curious about how this works.
i have linux 1.2.0 running c-kermit. my printer is only setup to do
postscript printing (i'm too lazy to set up magicfilters and stuff).
i dial into school's unix machine with kermit, fire up pine from there
and check my mail. but i never knew that i could print directly from
within pine to my printer until tonight it was discovered by my
girlfriend by mistake. how does this work?
thanks,
fei chen
