Hi,

If you run a LPD (Line Printer Daemon) on your PC, your System Administrator probably can configure it as a Unix Printer.

Otherwise, use the "script file_name" command to write terminal output to a file. Press control-D to stop. Print file on Unix printer with "lp -d printer_name file_name" command. You can even FTP the file to your PC to print it there.

Hope it helps.

Cheers
Frank

Hi,
You can use lp <filename> to print from the telnet session.
