- Yes, with the proper software. If you have ProComm at the receiving
- end, you can shell to DOS and print a file form that computer's disk, so
- you send the file, then shell and print the file.
-
- You can use Remote Control or a similar program to move and print a
- file.
-
- DeskLink and it's shareware relatives will let you print using the
- remote computer's peripherals.
-
- If you have an old terminal, it can generally be set up to answer the
- phone and print without a remote computer. Many older serial printers
- were actually Receive Only (RO) terminals.
