Installation of local printer

I would like to printer out some of the help pages in QNX 6.2. Is there a
way to install a local printer?

Hi Bill,

What type of printer are you trying to connect? Is it going to be a
parallel port printer or something else?
If it is a parallel port printer it should be autodetected when you reboot
your system, with the printer attached. If you look under
Launch Menu->Configure->Print Manager, you should see the printer defined
there.

Regards
Brenda

OK. I have spooler reloaded so that I can print to my printer from
Photon. Works great, thanks.

Now, I want to print to the same printer in a co-ordinated manner from
non-photon apps. I.E. lp > same printer.

I assume that what I want to to is set up the non-photon spooling first
and then just redirect the photon spooler to the non-photon spool
queue? Is that correct?

I ask because I see that the photon spool utility (to see pending jobs)
has the ability to display non-photon jobs. Is this looking for
non-photon spool queues too?

Or is there some other trick that I’m not seeing?

Failing a better explanation of this,
what is the alternative method of directing plain ascii text to a
photon printer?

I.E. myprog | lp

P.S. Is seems that lp has been depreciated in favor of lpr.
Is that correct?
