Subject: Printing to linux

Using MSdos I have used the attached to ansi printer option many times
when I have been connected by modem to my shell account.  I would like to
have the same capabiltity now that I am using linux.  I believe that I
should be able to configure my system to allow remote printing.  Then I
could provide pine with the custom command to print to my system remotely.
Does this sound reasonable?  Do you have any suggestions on how this might
work?  Currently the print to attached ansi prints to the screen. So
another choice would be to redirect standard output to the printer. 
However I am unsure how to modify the print to ansi command.  Could that
work?  Any sugestions are welcome.  Thank you

Tom... Try using a telnet program called EWAN. This allows printing to
remote ( attached printers) and it's price is right. It's freeware.
