As you know I am using for a general solution. I can personally get around this problem in a number of ways.I will try, but is there any technical reason to assume that this works differently?I don't know, it's hard to tell without taking a good look at how your printers are configured on that specific system.
I guess I can then do copy file.txt lpt2 or should not this work too?It should.
Thanks.
I have seen setups where the networked printer was left in some PostScript mode after printing. What I was trying to say was that I do not know if you bypass the part of the printer setup that resets it (from for example PostScript mode) when you access it the way above. But I can surely imagine that the ability to do such setups was a bug that is gone now. However I do not know the state of this today. That is what I am asking about.It was a long time ago I looked into this more in details, but what about the reset of the printer for example?What ``reset of the printer''? what does that have to do with this thread? We were talking about printing text; by contrast, Reset is a command that you send via some kind of managerial interface that has nothing to do with Emacs or its way to send text to the printer. Please don't make a mistake of taking Ilya's deliberations seriously.
It may seem crazy, but I have seen it happen and have had a lot of trouble with it. IMO this type of bad design happens because those responsible does not understand or does not know all the possibilities.
