Thank you all for your help.
I have tried the following printing SUB:
PUBLIC SUB bEktiposi_Click()
DIM hPrinter AS Printer
DIM hFile AS File
hPrinter = OPEN "dev/lp1" FOR OUTPUT
hPrinter.EndOfLine = gb.Windows
PRINT #hFile, "test a line: ";
CLOSE hPrinter
END
It is compiled but it stops when bEtiposi Button is clicked
at line :
hPrinter = OPEN "dev/lp1" FOR OUTPUT
with the message:
" Access Forbidden. "
I have tried to print from terminal with commands
echo -e "Hello World\r" > /dev/lp1
cat /etc/passwd > /dev/lp1
They have both worked only with root terminal.
First question:
How exactly can I put echo into SHELL command of Gambas?
Second question:
I suppose that's the reason why the routine OPEN "dev/lp1" .... is not
working. It needs root privileges!
Is there any other way to setup the printer /dev/lp1 in order to work with
simple user privileges?
