- I'm using a 'Unix' host with several printers linked. The printer I use is
- not fixed as I access to my host in many places. Hence, I made a small
- script for mail printing in ELM(2.3 PL 11) and put it in 'Print' Option.
-
- My elmrc file has a line 'print = my_script %s'
- my_script is as following.
-
- #!/bin/sh
- echo -n 'Printer='
- read printer
- lpr -P$printer $1
-
- When invoked by ELM, it does not prompt 'Printer='. But, I can designate
- my printer name without what I type being echoed and output is sent to
- the printer whose name I type. That's fine and I can do what I intended.
-
- But, I think it may be better not to suppress 'output' from print
- scripts like 'Printer=' in my example. Of course, this seems not so simple
- matter and there may be complication resulting from not suppresing this.
- Anyway, I sincerely hope you would pay a little attention to this problem
- in developing future version of ELM.
