I apologize if this has been asked before, but I didn't see it in the frequently-asked questions, so here goes... I'm using curses in some of my C programs now, but the manuals get very brief on the issue of terminfo explanations. What I'm looking to do is to send the output to the terminal also to the terminal's aux port (when it exists) to which is connected a printer. I can't figure how to do this even though the manuals talk about the terminfo database strings which turn on/off the printer. Any help would be appreciated. Mark A.
