Hi, can anybody tell me where I could get a tutorial about programming with printer & touchscreen in Linux? If it's in windows, I can use the methods in windows.h, but what about Linux?

I'm speculating here but I think you can open it as a file and specify the name of the port onto which the printer is attached as the filename like "LPT1" or something like this. I may be very far though.
don't know about printers, but touchscreen drivers generally appear as a simple mouse.Quote:

So basically if I installed the touchscreen's driver in Linux, I can use the same method for mouse to detect the touchscreen?Quote:

Okay I've looked at the forum and found this thread. So, to print a simple line, I can use the method there. But how do I set, for example, the position of the string to be printed eg. in the middle of the paper, or it is printed in a landscape paper, etc?
Also because that thread is about printing in Windows, I assume the MFC-printing won't work because I used Linux. Please, can anybody help me?
