Subject: file to printer (spooling)

Date: 2000-03-23T00:00:00+00:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8bddei$gmg$1@infosun2.rus.uni-stuttgart.de> (raw)

we need help:
(First of all, our primary goal is portability)
We create, write (several ada.text_io.put_line),
and close a text file.
Thereafter we want to spool that file to the printer 
in order to let it print asynchronously.
How should we do this from within the Ada program?
We do need that action from within the running Ada program.

Do we need an implementation dependent operating system command call?
If yes, what is the name of that call?
