Hi All,
I have a desire to do some strange things with printer devices. What I
would like to do is to set up a printer device that will pop up an X
window somewhere (preferably on the X terminal sitting on my desk) and
show whatever was printed (all nicely formatted of course). The main
goal here is to save trees, since I am doing some database report
generation and I really need to see the output and I am getting a rather
large pile of scribble paper on my desk.
It seems to me that gv would probably be the program to use to display
the print, but I have no idea how to set up a printer device that would
send it's output to another program.
Any pointers would be appreciated !!
Regards
