[Tutor] Output to a printer

[Luc Saffre]

Hello Alan and Bob,

wow, two interested people! This gave me the necessary motivation to 
work today on getting the thing published ;-)

First look here for a more complete example:
http://lsaffre.dyndns.org/~luc/timwebs/lino/26.htm

The textprinter package is a part of "Lino", and I'm afraid you will 
have to install the whole project --- even though you're interested only 
in a small part of it. Sorry, but Lino is my personal all-in-one 
metaproject and at the current stage I don't plan to split.

The website is very new and not yet, er... optimal, but I hope you'll 
get what you want by following the instructions on
http://lsaffre.dyndns.org/~luc/timwebs/lino/4.htm

Otherwise just ask the author (I certainly won't answer "RTFM").

Luc
