Re: NTLK Interest in a printing program?

Hi,

I think a Program like that already exists.
It's called NewtonPCPrint and is written by Alexander Künzer.
But it costs 40 DM. I don't know exactly how much this is in $, but if
your Program would cost only 5$, it would be certainly worth it.
I, for myself, am no longer interested in Windows programs, cause I
now prefer Linux. I never tried printing from the Newton but it should
be quie easy under Linux. You should be able to do something like:
 cat /dev/ttyS1 | lpr
(using a PostScript printer driver on the Newton)
Is anybody reading this who can tell me if I'm right?

Greetings,
Gert
