5101.0. "Local printer port from Smokey?" by FILTON::FENTON_R (Stop Kidding Yourself) Thu Oct 03 1991 13:11

    Does anyone know if it's possible to print ALLIN1 documents to your
    local printer (ie hanging off the parallel port) when you're using the
    Amiga as a Vt200 (Smokey)? I'm working at home, and I'd really like to
    be able to print some of my messages so I can scribble all over them.
    
    All help gratefully received,
    Roger

     I'm not sure I can get all of the details perfectly, but
     at least one way to get test to the Amiga is with the ASCII capture
     option from the menu.  
     
     - Set the directory of Smokey to RAM: or
       a disk file
     
     - Start the capture mode from Smokey
     
     - Use whatever commands are needed to display the files on the screen
       from your DEC computer
     
     - End the capture session from Smokey
     
     - Copy the file saved on the Amiga to your printer: >Copy file PRT:
