- Help!
-
- I must have this done by Christmas and I'm not sure where to start. I'm doing
- this for the Colorado Buffaloes football Administration and they need it before
- they go to the Fiesta Bowl. Anyhow, Here is some information....
-
- We've got an RS6000 with some terminals that are emulating Adds Viewpoint.
- What we are going to have is a Laserjet printer Plugged into the Aux Port of
- the terminal and we want to be able to print from LOTUS for UNIX. I figure
- that this can be done best through a Shell Script that will freeze up the
- terminal and then send the slave print command to the terminal and then send
- the print file.
-
- I'm not sure exactly how to do this (ie. what escape sequence to send) but
- if there is anyone out there who has some experience doing this, a reply would
- be much appreciated.
-
- ps: I know this can be done as we have Word Perfect for Unix and It works just
- fine with that. I just don't know how Word Perfect did it.
-
- Thanks in Advance!!
