Re: Send command to printer

[Julius Hamilton]

Thank you very much.

I will read up on the script command.

I would like it to be printed in real time.

Is there any way to avoid piping it into a print command every time? Can I
write in a bashrc file that every command is to have a certain pipe command
appended to the end of it?

Thanks very much,
Julius
