@bonkers@nerdculture.de yes, this is true. You can cat a text file to the port it’s attached to and i believe this is what most people do in this situation. I’m wanting to treat it like any other printer that you can send a document to from your normal text editor. (I don’t know enough about apple/linux to know if you can intercept that output, strip the escape codes from it and pipe it to the lpr port which could be another possible solution… )

@markno@mastodon.online sounds like a nice hobby project, and a way to learn Linux :)
