-----------------------------------

I thought I posted this yesterday, but it's not showing up anywhere so...

Is there a way in Turing to make your program send stuff to a printer?

This is from a tutorial
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.

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

Thats cool. I know with old ones you could send it bit by bit but that is cool.

Hey StarGate, you double posted :P

The Printer at my school only let you print bit by bit, and I tried it with a full sentence, so I wasted around 30 sheets of paper because I couldent stop it. but my home printer works fine.

I've done it before too, I've seen somthing wrong with the post and hit the stop button after pressing send, but it was too late and it posts 2.
