Re: lpr for djgpp?

I just searched through the djgpp website looking for a print
utitlity, similar to what we know as UNIX lpr application.

As a first approach one could call /dos/print within a shell script,
but there is no such thing like printing through a pipe in the way of
"cat file | sort | lpr".

Of course there is. Just type "cat file | sort | lpr", where you
have written lpr to take input from stdin and deliver it to the
printer.


Any utility out that is similar to UNIX lpr?

I recommend getting FinePrint, available at fineprint.com. It
automatically gives you visible previews of your output, allows
page deletion, etc., allows 1, 2, 4, or 8 up output (pages per
sheet), one or two sided output, and proper booklet formation.
After installation set it to be the default printer.
