Please see #1631 for details on how the PRINTER option works for Linux/UNIX. When used on Linux, the PRINTER destination causes a child process to be launched with the command line "lp -s" and all output is written to the STDIN of that child process. This is equivalent to:

OUTPUT THROUGH lp -s.

On Windows, the same 4GL code will drive the GUI printer environment. So the converted code must be the same and the runtime must select a different implementation based on the platform on which it runs.

#5 Updated by Greg Shah about 10 years ago

  • Subject changed from implement OUTPUT TO PRINTER on Linux/UNIX (contrary to the docs, it does work there) to implement OUTPUT TO PRINTER on Windows

The Linux/UNIX support for OUTPUT TO PRINTER is already done from the work in #1631. The remaining work for this task is the Windows implementation.
