[Coco] Drivewire 4 & printing

[Bill Pierce]

Stephen, there's no BASIC support for the dw4 print function though there is people working on that.
But, you can do that from OS9... just "list xxx >/p" and it prints the text file to the "cocoprints" folder so you can print it from the PC.

Subject: [Coco] Drivewire 4 & printing


I have a number of files on my CoCo that I would like to “print,”

My system is a CoCo 3 with HDBDOS and Drivewire 4.

I have taken a look at the DW 4 Wiki, and then at my configuration.  It appears 
that I am set up with a “plain text” printer, with the output aimed into the 
cocoprints folder within the Drivewire folder.  So, does that mean I can simply 
load a basic program and then type LLIST?

Of course, I tried that and then my machine just hanged up after the LLIST 
command, as if it was printing, but nothing showed up in the cocoprints folder…

Can anyone help me to get this going?  All I want is to be able to get simple 
source listings off my machine so I can pull them over onto my Mac and get them 
printed out.

TIA
