[Tutor] dynamic printing

[dman]

| Is there a module that allows one to print to a PRINTER
| instead of the screen? I can save it to a file and then go 
| back with windows and hit File>Print.. 

If you're using a Unix system, you could go straight to the printer
with 

printer = open( "/dev/lp0" , "a" )
printer.write( "some text that will spit out of the printer" )
printer.close()


better than doing that is to use the print spooler on the system

import os
printer = os.popen( "lp" )
printer.write( "some text to send to the printer" )
printer.write( " in the proper format and when it is ready!!" )
printer.close()


On Windows, uhh, who knows.  Devices aren't accessed as files there.
