Printing

The POSIX subsystem itself does not directly support printing, but Windows NT supports redirection and piping between subsystems. If your POSIX application writes to stdout, and if you have connected or redirected either your serial or parallel ports to a printer, you can redirect the output of a POSIX application to that printer. For example, the following sequence of commands will send to a network printer the output of a POSIX application that writes to stdout:


NET USE LPT1: \\MYSERVER\PRINTER
POSIXAPP.EXE > LPT1:
