C++ printing command

[Queelocke]

Could someone please show me an example of how to send something to the printer with C code. (Under another OS, --> open("PRN",ios: :out) <-- works fine, but under Linux, I found this only creates a new file on disk and sends the output to that file, not the printer). Thanks alot.

oops... didn't know that red face would show up. It was supposed to be a colon : and the letter o

[Strike]

replace PRN with /dev/lp0 or whatever device your printer is

Thank you, it worked. Though as found out, the path it relative.
Much appreciated.
