- Organization: Silicon Graphics, Inc.
For some reason I'm having problems redirecting output directly
to the printer. I've tried:
cat file >prn
cat file >PRN
cat file >lpt1
No file is created in the current directly.
The file has a form feed in it (CTRL-L).
I can print from other apps - i.e. I can load
the file into wordpad and print it.
Printer is a Canon 2110.
What obviously stupid thing am I missing?
Thanks,
Mike.
