Thread: using a printer in ANSI C

Is there a way to access the printer in ANSI C ?

I have written a program and would like to print out the data (held in a file).

All I can find is that there seems to be no way to send a file to the printer and stay within the confines of ANSI C.

I am restricting my use to ANSI specs for the portability. Do I have any options?

Nope, can't be done.

You could probably cover most cases by using CUPS for the Unix side (including OS X) and whatever Windows does for the Windows side. That shouldn't be too onerous.
