Hello!

I have a netrw user using WinXP who wants to use ssh; currently, he 
doesn't have such an executable.
I tend to use cygwin, but that's like asking one to build a home instead 
of new cabinets for the kitchen.


So, where can he get ssh for WinXP?

I'm likely to put a synopsis of any answers in netrw's help.

Thank you,
Chip Campbell





Here is a program I use and it works fine. It's just a single exe.

 Since you got an error message, read

:help E365

This one is related to the 'printexpr' option, so what does

:verbose set printexpr?

tell you?

Benji,

:verbose set printexpr? give the following, all in one line.

printexpr=system('lpr' . (&printdevice == '' ? '' : ' -p' . 
&printdevice) . ' ' . v:fname_in) . delete(v:fname_in + v:shell_error


Is this any help?

Hi,

In Linux how do I configure Vim to print a hard copy?
Please include syntax example.

I am running Ubuntu and the printer is named Laserjet-4 on LPT #1.

I located the info once and did this but now it eludes me.

Thank You!



What Windows calls LPT1 is usually called something else on Linux -- maybe
/dev/lp0 or something.

On systems other than Windows, Vim prints in PostScript format. If your
printer doesn't understand PostScript, you need some program like 
ghostscript
to translate the PostScript file to whatever it is that your printer can 
use.


Of course, your system must also recognise your printer and be able to
interface with it. If no program is able to print on your LJ-4, don't 
expect

that Vim will be.

See ":help printer.txt".


Best regards,
Tony.
