Post subject:  [Tutorial] Printing In Turing Using a Network or USB Printer
This is what I used to print on my school network (The code is done by Hacker Dan but I discovered which location to print to). All I had to do to get the location of the printer using the File->Print command and it says there the network location of the printer (for me anyways). I just subbed that information into where you would normally put "LPT1" and voila.

code:

%%Network%%
var dataout :int %the var can have any name you want

open: dataout,"//school/room-printer", put % //school/room-printer

put:dataout, "TEXT TO PRINT" %string to print
close: dataout %close the connection to the printer


As for USB you have to right click on your printer and give it sharing rights. You then type //computerName/printerName where you would normally put "LPT1". As far as USB printing I have not had too much luck. My printer will turn on but will not print, I dont know if its just me or for every one so let me know.

code:

%%USB%%
var dataout :int %the var can have any name you want

open:dataout,"//computerName/printerName",put
put:dataout, "TEXT TO PRINT" %string to print
close: dataout %close the connection to the printer

Well either way if I was looking for HELP with printing in turing I would probably have looked in the HELP section, but suit your self.

This code allows you to print to any printer installed (user's choice). It pops up the normal dialogue with # of copies, print range, etc.
code:

var dataout :int %the var can have any name you want

open: dataout, "printer", put %yes, litterally the string "printer"
put:dataout, "STRING TO SEND TO PRINTER" %string to print
close: dataout %close the connection to the printer

It is bad enough that you brought up 2 old topics Beard0, but to say the exact same thing, three times? Two in tutorials, and one in help . . Confused

hey,

could you repost that code sniplet about printing using Windows? it was an excellent addition to the tutorial, though unfortunatly that was lost in a site rollback.

Thx


Someone is likely to look only at one printing tutorial, not both. I didn't ask the question in help, someone else did. I'm not doing this to be an jerk, but to help other people.

I guess I didn't understand the circumstances, my bad Razz. I juss figured that you discovered something, and tried to put it in where ever you could. Trowing Tomato
