If you happen to have a networked printer that listens

on your local network (e.g. 192.168.0.printer) which is pretty
common, then the following command is a quick, although a bit
primitive way to print from RSX with BQTCP.
pip tc:"192.168.0.nn";9100=file.txt
nn is printer tcp/ip address file.txt is file to be printer
I put this is a command file 'netprt.cmd' with 'p1' to hold file.txt
.DISABLE QUIET .ENABLE SUBSTITUTION ; Printing 'p1' pip
tc:"192.168.0.nn";9100='p1'
Ahh, that's an excellent suggestion, thank you Mark. Most (all, I
think) of the non-vintage printers here do listen on port 9100. Perfect.
As Johnny suggested, his PCL.C can be modified to work
with the RSX
print queues, but you will need PDP11C V1.2 for a clean compilation.
I would love to hack on that at some point, but I don't see it
happening anytime soon.
