On an IBM PC, I just use Ada.Text_IO to Create "PRN" in Out_File mode, as
if "PRN" were a file. Then I just Put or Put_Line to that "file." For
example,
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Write_Hello is
F : File_Type;
begin
Create(F, Out_File, "PRN");
Put_Line(F, "Hello");
Close(F);
end Write_Hello;
Unfortunately, the procedure for writing to the printer will vary for
other platforms.
