2712.0. "Print and printer port" by ZENA::ERMACORA (Posso, ma NON voglio proprio) Fri May 04 1990 09:07

    Hi all,
    
        my problem is to print a file that an application would send
        to a VT300 printer port, when the user works with a VS3100 station.
    
        To be a little more clear: the aplications (AQS,ALL-IN-1)produce
        a TEMPORARY FILE that is being sent to the printer port of the
        terminal, via a TYPE command, preceeded by an <ESC> sequence
        that switches data from the screen to the printer port.
        All this works fine as long as the user has a VT, but with a
        terminal window, <SOMETHING> should capture the <ESC> sequence,
        store the data coming, and fire , E.g. the print widget.
        Is there any possibility to do this?
        Thanks in advance
                            Renato
