To Svend:
Thank you for try but lredir don't work.
I will explain latter why.

To Jim:
I am glad to hear that you want to help me
and you don't want just to pissonme.
So it's just a missunderstanding.

If you use unix or linux or or som'ng like that I think
I give you fullfill information for resolving problem.
Anyway, I will try to explain.

> What OS
Hmmmm. When I post on unix-group I think it's answer unix-like
(Unix, SCO Unix, Linux) - SCO Unix V in my case exactly.

> what printer
it's not important for question

>, what connections, and on and on
If you know what is terminal (vt100,vt52,vyse...),
you know what is hardcopy connected.
If you don't - that's printer connected on terminal. Usualy
on unix you don't use printer on that way but I need just like that.

I have unix server with 16 pc's-withterminalemulatorVt100
connected on standard way - on multiport card or if
you look from pc-side on serial (RS232) port, in simple words.
One day I need to add more terminals on network :).

I put tcp/ip on server and use ethernet card with bnc
So, I use rg58 cabal (coax - it's cheaper and not much worse
then hub-utp combination), and old Pentium'sI and 486's
with ethernet cards to expand network Every pc-station is
boot-ed with floppy and don't have hdd. On floppy
I have DOS, ethernettcpdrivers and terminal-emulator.

I have now  35 more pc's with tcp/ipterminalemulator.
Everything works perfect. Except...
I can't use hard-copy connected printers on tcp-connected terminals.
I can't, be cause they don't have "permanent name" for system and
don't use VT-100 escape-command.
So can't use lredir and I can't use vt-escape-sequences.

My question is: anybody have idea how to redirect output to hard-copy
connected printer on pc-station like that.
Any know how to define tcp-connected printer ?
If you have solution for any Unix-like sistem please post.

And dear Jim...if you have answer now, I hope you will share with us.
Thank you in advance.
